953 nut 54,156 #1 Posted July 12 I am setting up the hardware department of my church's Bazaar, annual big yard sale. Got a couple of things that I can't ID, perhaps some of you will know. First one has a heavy duty hook on one end and has a place to hammer on to pull on something? The second mystery is a pair of tools (left hand and fright hand) that are offset with a curve like they will be used to go around a pipe or log? I have no idea what they are for and the church probably won't get any more for them if I know what they are, but it would be nice to know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

midpack 839 #6 Posted July 12 Not sure what it actually does, but I'd give the first one a shot at being a tire bead breaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,211 #7 Posted July 12 I'm guessing of course, the first one of being a slate shingle hook. Used for replacing broken tiles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

87 416-8 horse 418 #12 Posted July 14 I’m kinda with @midpack on the first one. Use the straight end to break a bead on a small tire then maybe use the hook to pull it over the rim. That’s what came to mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,400 #13 Posted July 14 To me, it only looks small and light weight. The thing looks like you hold it by the handle and hammer down on the worn pad to exert a downward force on the hooked end. Just a total guess but based on the way it looks to function, is it a tool for closing barrel lids? Hook it Over the barrel side, tap the anvil and pull the lid down?

Like your thinking, but wonder about the function of the extra tang. Doesn't look like a good place for fingers if you're going to hammer on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing like it in car body work or sheet metal work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
