"This is a professional quality adjustable reaming tool"
Is that for "professional pipe smokers", or do really keen amateur
pipe smokers send their bowls out to have them professionally reamed ?
I should write to The Chap magazine and enquire.

This one isn't a pet-nail trimmer.
Might very well depend on the part of the country you are from. Lots of
regional things about.

Thanks for the comments, hopefully someone will recognize 186, maybe I
should offer prizes for tool ID's.

It puts a good crimp in a wire but there isn't a sharp edge and it didn't
cut the wire when I tried it.

A magnet sticks to it, that's all I can tell you concerning what type metal
it is. Keep in mind it's only 3/4" long.

I never go to garage sales but I hit the flea market every weekend, I do
enjoy it but I have to look at *a lot* of junk to find the good stuff.

Hey Greg,
No, not a trick. The two photos captioned 186 came up on my screen
OK. 3rd and 4th ones from the top. Still don't know what it is
though. In fact, I don't "know" what many of them are, except 178
which is a soldering tip for a torch and 183 is a lock-nut for an
electrical fitting, and maybe 180 is checker-plate. Is 182 a part of
a toy noise-maker? Is 181 a "clicker" ( cleat ??) for tap-dancing
shoes?
Take care.

Bothwell, Ontario.

I don't know what 186 is, but 185 is a cutter and stripper for
wire-wrap wire. I think that you'll even find "O.K. Machine and Tool
Co." printed on the other side of the orange plastic on the handles.
184 looks like some sort of tool for expanding the ID of tube of
some sort.
Interesting geared linkage in the pliers in #188. They appear
to have a wire-cutting section, but other than that, I don't know.
Enjoy,

Thanks for that, I didn't realize they were called taps, I was thinking that
taps were just for dancing but now I see that the term is also for shoe
protectors. So I hereby change all of my replies from incorrect to correct
for those who guessed tap for 181.

These three aren't, 181 is for shoes but not for dancing.

This may be nitpicking but wear plates such as this were commonly known as

It doesn't say telco on it, but it is for stripping and cutting wire. Any
idea why there is foam rubber padding around the piece that connects the
strippers to the cutter?
