correct also common in modern cordless used by trades people with interchangable cutters for plunge cutting in awkard places, copper pipes in corners ,sockets for electrical boxes and many more
Yep, I recognized the Stryker saw immediately. That's the same one the doc used to remove my (first) arm cast - 52 years ago! It's funny which images will pop up out of the rusty old memory vault decades later...
in woodworking and remolding The German company Fein also made saws like that but then they come up with the FEIN oscillating MultiTool which is a very handy tool .
@@g.tucker8682 I had a feeling that was a cast saw... had mine cut off about the same time. I remember it burned a little when the hot plaster hit my arm.
The man who dies with the most tools, wins. That's what I've always been told. I am getting up there in years. I over heard my own family arguing this past summer about all my tools and guns, who's going to get what when I'm gone. I plan to fix them before my end gets here by selling it all off an giving stuff to ones I want to get it. An give the money to my grand babies. Great haul buddy. Looks like you are winning this game.
You should set up a will. Not very hard and only a few hundred dollars. Then nothing is to chance and you can designate heirs/trustees to hand anything you want to. Everyone should have one. That avoids the "he said this so I get that" fighting, it's just your wish in the will.
@@Dassick89 Yeah I agree, I believe everyone with anything of any real relevance should have a will drawn up it really helps insure your family doesn't break apart over greed, lies, and infighting.
Those Utaca pliers are for taking Aircraft electrical bayonet plugs on and off known as AN connectors. The soft jaws do not mare up the aluminum shells.
I normally don't have much interest in those gimicky tools, but the drill attachment that makes holes in soil is actually pretty handy. I use one to plant my vegetable garden and it really is convenient.
The Utica Pliers are Canon Plug pliers, they are for working with a specific type of Military plug connector, I find them very useful for working on round objects that you don’t want to damage, but they don’t grip very tightly - Stryker is a medical company, The saws came in a couple of variations, If it the blade rotated then that was a bone saw, used for cutting into chests or skulls. If it vibrates that’s a cast saw. Thanks for the videos. Always appreciated.
@@jagboy69 I agree 100%. I was an industrial electronics tech but I have an A&P licence. In the mill many times they were so corroded they would break. I suppose you don't need told what a pain they are to replace in the field especially standing on an extension ladder.
Lyle, That Blue aluminium mallet with the white nylon ends, has lead shot inside to make it a DEAD Blow Hammer. Very nice to use, no bounce at all, I use mine a lot on the milling machine.
The one pair of pliers with the rubber inserts are called cannon plug pliers and they are for removing and tightening the round cannon plugs on airplanes.
What you call "junk" could be a godsend to someone who doesn't have tools. Rather than scrap, donate to Habitat Restore or better yet contact a school that offers maintenance type course(s) and give them to student(s) who are just getting started. Remember that you once had no tools and would have appreciated such donations.
Correct, in1967 I did a brake job on my 57 chevy with borrowed visegrip and a few others I was a poor marine. Later my dad bought me a set of 3/8 ratchet set and combo wrenches from monkey wards. I still have them today. I was soooo thrilled to have real tools
Mr.Pete, Im a 44yr old tool lover! I know some of that stuff is cheap made but you could put some in a small box and a young boy would love it. I was lucky to be raised with my grandpa and as long as I put it back i could use his tools. He was a machine mechanic 40yrs Sonoco and he had good quality tools. I was a machine mechanic for 10yrs another company that shut down and during that time I could get tools and chest from Mac and snap on whatever I wanted and got a discount. They deducted $35 from my paycheck but I added extra most the time to pay it off faster. Then five years ago my grandpa passed away at 93 yrs old and left me his home and now I have all his tools. And my 17yr old don't care about tools and just my luck! He's a all A senior in high school so he may be smarter than us! I enjoy your channel and not boring at all to me.
Father's Day gifts that mean the most are those you cannot buy. Helping one of your children put a live cricket on a #8 Aberdeen to catch his/her first bluegill. Most of the rest make great rust absorbers. 🦗😋
You can convert the old Maglite flashlights to LED. Not as bright as the fancy small LED lights but they are still bright enough to blind, the batteries last for ages and I’d rather have one in my hand than an o light if I bumped into an unexpected visitor. I do enjoy a good tool haul video, I was with you right to the end, and no I don’t know what those tiny tools were at the bottom of the box.
The pliers with the padded jaws is a circular connector tool used to open and connect military style circular connectors that are too tight to remove with your hands
The Utica pliers are for undoing the coupling nuts on Military style circular connectors. Also handy for stuck (plastic) chucks on cordless tools and anything else you need to grip that is circular, without damaging the item.
The Utica pliers at 19:12 with soft jaw inserts are called AN connector pliers. They are used for tightening and loosening larger circular connectors such as Amphenol and Cannon plugs.
In my country the assistant nurse cuts the cases not the doctor, which show up later to check.. I still remember my first cast cut, the male nurse demonstrated on his hand how the toll can't do harm to the skin as it vibrates, not spin. Good approach to a very young patient.
19:16 those are soft-jaw pliers, or cannon-plug pliers, used for removing harness connections in lots of aircraft or military applications. They're also handy for removing stuck-on hoses without damaging them.
19:11... pliers for 'Cannon' electrical plugs. They see a lot of aerospace use to this day & are also good for 'nudging' around chromed plumbing & like fittings. They're still made/sold by several companies.
The “pliers” with the plastic jaws are used to tighten and remove electrical connectors as used on ships and aircraft. I worked for a company that manufactured them. Highly prized in their day.
The vibrating saw is also very effective for trimming cured composite laminates (carbon fiber and fiberglass). I've seen used in Kit plane construction.
I won an auction once for a few Channel Lock tools at a good price new in the packages. As I was leaving a guy came up and said I needed to get my stuff out of the way. I went back in and there were BOXES full of new Channel Lock tools all sizes. I'm still have a lot of them many years later and made gifts out of the rest. Got to enjoy them twice:)
Lyle - As others have said, the Utica pliers are Canon Plug, used for aircraft/military connectors on electronic equipment. Used them many times and handy for anything round to twist on at times. Watched the whole thing. I needed you when I wanted only some broaches in one drawer of a chest at the auction of an OLD garage - had to buy the whole wall of stuff from the garage for $15 to get them. Then filled up the entire back of the pickup with what was there. But did sell off a set of headers in the mix to pay for the plunder. And scrapped a lot of steel!
I was thinking Mr. Pete went to the same school for packing vehicles as my dad and dad passed onto me. 5 hunters, food for a week and gear in his super cab Ford with a 6' bed was interesting.
Put the junk on the curb with a free sign. People love it. This hoard is one of the best indicators of the vast wealth and overabundance of the USA. Giving this away? Crazy.
"Is anybody watching?" Yup, loved the running commentary, especially the car tool kit, "ruin your whole day getting that as a Christmas gift!" I'll add that to my favorite Mr. Pete quotations (remember "the illustrated man" and "left turn signal on all the time"? Can't wait for part two. And a "man of many vises" gets a Wilton vise and no swivel base!!!
I hate helmets too. I spent my childhood and teenage years without wearing a bicycle helmet. I've experienced my share of "bicycle wrecks" with no real damage.
I was the same as you. Then i went trail riding with a buddy. He insisted i wear a helmet. I did to make him happy. It was later when my tire caught the root of a tree the bike flipped and the top of my head smashed into a tree. I didn't realize until the end of the ride that the top of the helmet was completely shattered. I barely felt a thing but the helmet was destroyed.
Great stuff... Take the rusty pliers and stick them in lacquer thinner up past the pivot then work them to remove the oil. Keep dipping and working and then the rust will flood out and they will free up quickly. Then oil them.
We used the udica players with the rubber pads for removing the twist collars on electrical connectors when I worked on locomotives. I’ve learned so much watching your channel. Thank you.
I have to smile when you talk about the U.S.A. stuff being so good . I needed a hub for my lawn mower went to town and bought a genuine Brigs and Stratton made in the U.S.A part when I opened the box there was a box inside the box and when I opened that the hub had China in raised letters. The weird looking pliers are filter pliers.
Hi Mr Pete. Nice haul, To me the best find would be the American Flag. Love your videos and how you explain how to do it, Works for me Thanks from Ohio.
Wow a lot of the stuff that is junk is exactly what I'd be thrilled to find in the garbage, or even for cheap somewhere. As a young man with more time than funds, I enjoy restoring, cleaning, and repurposing things. That camp axe is something I see worthwhile polishing up. Home Depot those are 35 bucks new and no character.
Do they have Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations in your area? If so, they're an excellent - and deserving - place to donate the extra tools & hardware you're planning on getting rid of. ...Even the 'junk' category tools might be a boon to someone with a limited budget who shops there. Keep up the good work sir! Doug
I work at the "workbench" sorting through exactly this kind of "Grandpa passed away and we found all this in his garage" kind of cast offs. Sells like crazy! I get first crack at buying the "good" stuff.
The tool in the stryker box has been used in hospitals for years for removing plaster casts and now comes in battery form for DIY use, as you noted the blade oscillates from side to side and can be used in awkward places, I have blades that cut metal and wood and one useful job is for removing hidden nails without wrecking wood trim etc.
I have three younger nephews that live close to me and a few years back I decided that I'm never going to buy them Walmart junk for Christmas or their birthdays. Since then, I have been buying them used American made hand tools at the local flea market and now all three of them have a decent collection of hand tools with an older tool box. Point being, no Chinesium or gimmick tools.
19:20, Yes, those are Cannon plug pliers. And for the record, have never seen any of those that didn't feel cheaply made, even the Snap On versions..,.
Tool in your skate box, for cutting body cast off. Like when you have broken arm or leg, The machine moves back and forth real fast and it cuts the cast and not the skin. Isolator saw I think is how you pronounce it.
Fun video, I always enjoy finding "Special Junk" surprises. Again ,Mr. Pete, Please stop worrying about how long your video's are getting. If other people get enough they can just quit watching. I enjoy all you videos, So as far as I am concerned let it run I will watch to the end. Thanks, as always, for sharing.
I think someone should revive a "What's In Your Box" type of giveaway. Doesn't even have to be all new tools or machinist tools. I'm sure a TON of people have tools they can donate to some kids who are trying to get a collection going.
Watched every last second, and loved it all! If I didn't watch you I'd probably be out scrounging my own junk 😉. I wish I could have had my pick of my late father's shop, but I lived too far away when he moved into the retirement village - he had some really nice hand tools. I miss him still, 20 years on.
Lyle, that electric vibrating tool with strain relief cord at about 25 minutes in I am pretty sure having my unfair share of broken bones in my youth was used (obviously it would have more uses as well) to cut plaster casts of limbs that are encased in them. You can also use them on cutting timber frame work, holes for light fittings pipes etc in plaster /gyprock, drywall etc Nails off that are bent and so on, a very handy tool. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Hey Lyle! @33:15 is a chemist or compounding pharmacist's spatula, @34:33 is a knife sharpening "vise" for rod mounted hone stones, @35:10 heat sink clip for delicate or electronic soldering. Ken
The Stryker vibrating tool is for removin g the old plaster cast that were used for wrapping broken bones. Remember " hey sign my white cast on my broken arm"? It was design ed not to cut your skin under the cast. The black shears with big loopy handles are gardners shears scissors. The Utica slip joint pliers with rubber jaw pads i use in Aviation for avionics /electrical connectors and or plugs. Prevents damage to expensive avionics hardware. Your " cranked neck chisels" are for giving handle clearance. There other two are mortising chisels.
Hi Mr Pete, most of what I have to say about this has been posted here already, but please send all your unwanted tools,no matter how crappy they may seem , to a place where people less fortunate than ourselves can purchase them , I'm not that old that I've forgotten what it's like to want something and have little money to spend, thanks for the video, I look forward to part 2, stay safe mate, best wishe's to all, Stuart uk.
The bike is by Specialzed, very good quality bike in general. That looks like a 21 speed?, not a 10 spd. Probably worth some money.. My husband has a Specialized 30 year old mountain bike. Great videos Mr Pete.
I really enjoy your humor! The “Utica” pliers are fantastic! They have soft jaws so when you can’t get some kinda knurled nut off, it is absolutely the ticket! I use mine a lot.
The blue stryker re-ciprocating tool is a cast cutter. Obsolete now but old casts used to be plaster. The tool cut casts material but did not cut skin.
This is purely speculative, but the personal lubricant might have been used for a catheter due to prostate enlargement, and that possibly you've only exposed your own proclivities, eh?😏 Nice haul Mr Pete.👍
The Utica pliers with the rubber jaws are for assembling Amphenol cylindrical connectors.. military and aerospace stuff mostly, and the weird circular wrench is probably for a whole house water filter housing.
17:59 I think I know what that wrench is. Judging from some of the other "junk" I would say he was into aviation. I will take the Utica cheapy pliers they are for aviation cannon plugs and actually pretty good quality. The plastic jaws can be switched out and are still sold. The speed wrench you hate I would love. The new ones don't have the knob end and it is handy for stubborn panel screws. The Stryker unit is used in composite aircraft structures. Very handy for an aviation structures guy. If I am correct the #24 & #30 drill bits are dull or broken. Check the angle on the line nut stage cone. It may not be the ASE angle. If that is the case definitely an aviation guy.
You can get LED conversions for those MAG lights! You should show the “hidden” extra bulb under the spiral spring in the battery cap! I always thought that was so cool that there was a spare!
Mag-lite sells replacement led-style bulbs for that flashlight. I have been using it for years. 25:00 oscillating multi-tool is great for trimming in tight spots or where you don't want to damage surrounding areas.
Lots of good tools in your haul. That they were free makes them even better. You correctly identified the nut cracker. But it is a not very good gimmick tool. To be effective you would need to use a breaker bar to get enough leverage to split the nut. A ratchet or regular length wrench wouldn't do the job. The scissors with the odd loop-like handles are used by gardeners to prune plants and cut flowers. I think the stuff you dont want could be donated to charitable groups to give someone learning about tools a start. Looking forward to part 2.
Lucky guy. Last thing you asked what is it, it's a hand held knife sharpener holder but you need to find the different course sharpening stones with the metal rods that goes up into the end on it, and knife blade goes into the vise. That way each stroke is exactly the same an knife gets sharper than doing it free hand. I have taught many people how to use those.
The wiring harness in the first or second box is an adapter. It came with a GM truck to hook the trailer brake controller to the junction box under the dash. I believe that the wire basket thing you didn't know what it was, is a light bulb remover that just needs a long handle. No they're not roach clips, they are heat sinks for when you are soldering. The flat aluminum one came from Radio Shack.
I believe that the "wire basket things" were used to keep leaves out of rain gutter downspouts: the wire ends fit down into the round downspout and the round end filters out the leaves. You still had to clean out the gutters, but at least the downspouts didn't get plugged.
Oh Mr Pete, you are one lucky devil! The only free tools I get are broken. Although the last score was a nice bosch jigsaw that only needed oil on the blade tightening mechanism ! G'day from Tasmania
Brian from Ma.Thank you i had fun ya i hate bike helmits to i think next year i will use .The other day i hit ditch with mountain bike ya 260 pound six foot tall i separated shoulder and road rash im fine anywho Thank you my friend Besafe
Super nice Wilton that oscillating tool is like an original those type tools are all the craze today and doctors used for cast removal. Treasure cant wait to see the rest

The Stryker saw is a medical tool for cutting off casts (broken bones) it should cut the cast but not the skin underneath.
Might have a use in metal casting. I wonder if they use a Fein type oscillating tool nowadays.
correct also common in modern cordless used by trades people with interchangable cutters for plunge cutting in awkard places, copper pipes in corners ,sockets for electrical boxes and many more

You are a wise man. And you have fortunate nephews
19:20, Yes, those are Cannon plug pliers. And for the record, have never seen any of those that didn't feel cheaply made, even the Snap On versions..,.
Tool in your skate box, for cutting body cast off. Like when you have broken arm or leg, The machine moves back and forth real fast and it cuts the cast and not the skin. Isolator saw I think is how you pronounce it.
Yes
Oscillating saw
What a great find. Really enjoy all your videos.
Fun video, I always enjoy finding "Special Junk" surprises. Again ,Mr. Pete, Please stop worrying about how long your video's are getting. If other people get enough they can just quit watching. I enjoy all you videos, So as far as I am concerned let it run I will watch to the end. Thanks, as always, for sharing.
I actually yelled No! at one point. I think it was the 90 degree, 3/4 socket handle.
Funny how we think.
Neat video.
I think someone should revive a "What's In Your Box" type of giveaway. Doesn't even have to be all new tools or machinist tools. I'm sure a TON of people have tools they can donate to some kids who are trying to get a collection going.
Watched every last second, and loved it all! If I didn't watch you I'd probably be out scrounging my own junk 😉. I wish I could have had my pick of my late father's shop, but I lived too far away when he moved into the retirement village - he had some really nice hand tools. I miss him still, 20 years on.
I bet he had some nice tools
Lyle, that electric vibrating tool with strain relief cord at about 25 minutes in I am pretty sure having my unfair share of broken bones in my youth was used (obviously it would have more uses as well) to cut plaster casts of limbs that are encased in them.
You can also use them on cutting timber frame work, holes for light fittings pipes etc in plaster /gyprock, drywall etc
Nails off that are bent and so on, a very handy tool.

Thanks
For the cost of your time to sort through it you've given us a whole lot of entertainment between the two videos.
Thanks
Hey Lyle!
@33:15 is a chemist or compounding pharmacist's spatula, @34:33 is a knife sharpening "vise" for rod mounted hone stones, @35:10 heat sink clip for delicate or electronic soldering.
Ken
Thanks
Thanks Mr Pete. I enjoyed plundering through the free stuff with you. I hope you find some things you like in the next pile.
I would be proud to have my tools gone through on video by Mr Pete.
lol
That red handled block was for cleaning your grill also.
At 27:58 Use brick chisel to clean welding spatter from metal welding table. Real easy and quick to use in sliding motion.
Carpet chisel... notice how it's with other Carpet stuff? It's used to tuck the carpet under the base bords after it's stretched
Fiakars drill is handy for drilling tight up against things. I use it for window sash furniture.(drilling up against glass!)
19:20. Those pliers are for Cannon plugs on aircraft. We used lots of them at Boeing. 35:14 two heat shunts for soldering.
Yep, cast cutter. It oscillates so that you don't cut the patient's skin when you use it and it cuts through through the plaster cast.
One man's junk is another man's treasure................on to part two !!
Thanks for the “treasure “video. Yes there were some “Good, Bad, and Ugly “. I watched the whole part one. 🇺🇸👍🏻
Thanks
The Stryker vibrating tool is for removin
g the old plaster cast that were used for wrapping broken bones. Remember " hey sign my white cast on my broken arm"? It was design ed not to cut your skin under the cast. The black shears with big loopy handles are gardners shears scissors. The Utica slip joint pliers with rubber jaw pads i use in Aviation for avionics /electrical connectors and or plugs. Prevents damage to expensive avionics hardware. Your " cranked neck chisels" are for giving handle clearance. There other two are mortising chisels.
Hi Mr Pete, most of what I have to say about this has been posted here already, but please send all your unwanted tools,no matter how crappy they may seem , to a place where people less fortunate than ourselves can purchase them , I'm not that old that I've forgotten what it's like to want something and have little money to spend, thanks for the video, I look forward to part 2, stay safe mate, best wishe's to all, Stuart uk.
All of the excess tools, will go to a store called Lily pad. Proceeds help to Aid the homeless.
Mr. Pete is so fortunate to have so much surplus tools that he can complain when someone makes him take more then just the "good" stuff.
lol
The bike is by Specialzed, very good quality bike in general. That looks like a 21 speed?, not a 10 spd. Probably worth some money.. My husband has a Specialized 30 year old mountain bike. Great videos Mr Pete.
Thanks Mr Pete. Some interesting things there.
Nice to see that you ended up with a good selection of boxes.
Boxes you will be able to fill with .. stuff. 🥳
lol
I really enjoy your humor! The “Utica” pliers are fantastic! They have soft jaws so when you can’t get some kinda knurled nut off, it is absolutely the ticket! I use mine a lot.
Of course we are still with you! This is fun to us too!
Thanks
The Stryker saw is used for autopsies
Apparently if it oscillates then it's a cast saw, if it spins then it's a bone saw, you only use the blade that's on it on an oscillating saw
Not a bad group of tools. Speed handle, put a Philips bit on it, the best tool to get out a tough Philips head screw.
👍
Yes, I am still watching. I do enjoy these. Never know what you might find in these.
I've always called that type of oscillating saw a "bone saw" because similar saws are used by surgeons - much safer than a circular saw.
that or a plaster cast cutter. My father had one.
The blue stryker re-ciprocating tool is a cast cutter. Obsolete now but old casts used to be plaster. The tool cut casts material but did not cut skin.
This is purely speculative, but the personal lubricant might have been used for a catheter due to prostate enlargement, and that possibly you've only exposed your own proclivities, eh?😏
Nice haul Mr Pete.👍
The Utica pliers with the rubber jaws are for assembling Amphenol cylindrical connectors.. military and aerospace stuff mostly, and the weird circular wrench is probably for a whole house water filter housing.
17:59 I think I know what that wrench is. Judging from some of the other "junk" I would say he was into aviation. I will take the Utica cheapy pliers they are for aviation cannon plugs and actually pretty good quality. The plastic jaws can be switched out and are still sold. The speed wrench you hate I would love. The new ones don't have the knob end and it is handy for stubborn panel screws.
The Stryker unit is used in composite aircraft structures. Very handy for an aviation structures guy. If I am correct the #24 & #30 drill bits are dull or broken. Check the angle on the line nut stage cone. It may not be the ASE angle. If that is the case definitely an aviation guy.
A lot of good stuff for Henrys tool box. Good video.
The price was right, a few very nice keepers. A donate box should be there.
Agree with you on the red handled screwdriver.
You can get LED conversions for those MAG lights! You should show the “hidden” extra bulb under the spiral spring in the battery cap! I always thought that was so cool that there was a spare!
Yes
Mag-lite sells replacement led-style bulbs for that flashlight. I have been using it for years.
25:00 oscillating multi-tool is great for trimming in tight spots or where you don't want to damage surrounding areas.
Lots of good tools in your haul. That they were free makes them even better. You correctly identified the nut cracker. But it is a not very good gimmick tool. To be effective you would need to use a breaker bar to get enough leverage to split the nut. A ratchet or regular length wrench wouldn't do the job. The scissors with the odd loop-like handles are used by gardeners to prune plants and cut flowers. I think the stuff you dont want could be donated to charitable groups to give someone learning about tools a start. Looking forward to part 2.
Lucky guy. Last thing you asked what is it, it's a hand held knife sharpener holder but you need to find the different course sharpening stones with the metal rods that goes up into the end on it, and knife blade goes into the vise. That way each stroke is exactly the same an knife gets sharper than doing it free hand. I have taught many people how to use those.
If you can salvage that green torch, it'll be worth keeping, because it's a Maglite.
Quality stuff.
The wiring harness in the first or second box is an adapter. It came with a GM truck to hook the trailer brake controller to the junction box under the dash. I believe that the wire basket thing you didn't know what it was, is a light bulb remover that just needs a long handle. No they're not roach clips, they are heat sinks for when you are soldering. The flat aluminum one came from Radio Shack.
I believe that the "wire basket things" were used to keep leaves out of rain gutter downspouts: the wire ends fit down into the round downspout and the round end filters out the leaves. You still had to clean out the gutters, but at least the downspouts didn't get plugged.
Thank you for sharing. Very much enjoyed.
Oh Mr Pete, you are one lucky devil! The only free tools I get are broken. Although the last score was a nice bosch jigsaw that only needed oil on the blade tightening mechanism ! G'day from Tasmania
👍👍
Pete the Striker tool is the forerunner of the oscillating multi tool Dremel and everyone else makes today. Did not know it was an "old" tool. Al B,
Brian from Ma.Thank you i had fun ya i hate bike helmits to i think next year i will use .The other day i hit ditch with mountain bike ya 260 pound six foot tall i separated shoulder and road rash im fine anywho Thank you my friend Besafe
Wow, sounds kind of serious. Hope you are OK
Super nice Wilton that oscillating tool is like an original those type tools are all the craze today and doctors used for cast removal. Treasure cant wait to see the rest
