I think the Knipex tool may be for melting lead onto cable ends for motorcycles/bicycles. I have a couple of different size railroad chunks of track but about a month ago got permission to pick up a 3' section of large track. My back hasn't been the same ever since!
The needle nose pliers with the special nose are for spring hose clamps. That is what the notches are for. Those typically are used on washing machines and some automotive lines. Great show.
Being a Barlow collector, I am very excited for you to restore the knife...I love Barlow revival's, always looking to tips for my own restorations.... Chuck for President !!! 👍👍👍😎🙏🙏🙏
I was able to find a piece of railroad track to use as an anvil. It’s surprising how often I use it. I really like the bicycle wrench. They usually turn out nicely when restored. Thanks for showing us your haul. Interesting as always.
My grandfather was a carpenter and he had a folding measure like that.. i can still see him in his overalls with a special pocket to hold the folding tape measure.. Those Barlows used to be the thing to have, but i never see them anymore except in videos.. M.D. thx for bringing us along.. Take care...
I agree with you on the 3/8” socket/ screw drive ratcheting tool. I believe it’s a gimmick tool. But I like gimmick tools. Looks like you had a good show. Can wait to see what you do with the drill. Thank You for sharing!
Great tool haul Mr magdad ... For the mystery tool 100% homemade whoever did the welding was a very good Tig Welder as what it was used for hard to say Could have been used for Spring hose clamps only way to find out is use it on a Spring Clamp .. as for the Craftsman Tool total Gimmick tool i would donate that ratchet to the Snap Ring Man and have him take apart the ratchet on his YT Channel Great video Mr Magdad looking forward to Sundays ideo
That old Barlow knife looks exactly like the one my dad carried for years. I'd love to find with that color scales. That Craftsman ratchet is pretty cool. I think the pliers were homemade but very well made for hose clamps.
You did good at Jacktown, Magdad. I have never seen that Craftsman swivel ratchet before. It looks to be in real good shape. Looking forward to seeing the handle on the big screwdriver. 😀👍
I loved the whole haul. I can't pick a favorite. I saw that someone thought that the plier tool was modified for spring clamps. That makes the most sense to me. Someone did a great job on that one. They should patent that idea.
Breast drill is nice but im impressed with the gimmick tool. If it could hold up under pressure it could be a useful tool. That modified pair of pliers looks like it could be something to do with a block or 'nipple' on the end of cables or wires. Like we used to have on bicycle brake cables or something like that. To hold them in place when soldering them?
I will be looking for that craftsman/Yankee/ratchet/screwdriver, I think it would be a actual asset to my portable tool bag for around the house. I also like the wood sticks rulers, as I used one for 30 years as a shipwright. yet the one you depicted is is 180 degrees different than the one I like. I will send you a email with a few picture which best describes what I am trying to say. Great video as always.
Great stuff, of course your bought the Allway saw! The inventor of the Craftsman ratcheting tool probably thought he invented the greatest tool ever! Looking forward to the cleanups!
Y favorite is the mystery tool. My dad used to be a cable splicer wat before fiber optics we invented so I know some of his workmates cobbled together tools to help them with their jobs.
Thanks Magdad, that's an interesting collection of tools, no idea on the Knipex but pretty sure it's a modification, love the Allway master that would be a great addition to my Stanley, Eclipse and Picador pad-saws ! The folding rule is a great find too, I son't especially like this design but the condition is great and the addition of the extending measure is a bonus ! For me the best find is the 100 plus screwdriver, and personally despite the drilling I'd keep the acetate handle, I have a few of these I bought new as they were being withdrawn and they are great screwdrivers, wish I could still buy them now, but they would probably not be as good steel tbh ! My feeling is the Craftsman is a gimmick and can't imagine I'd use it, I'm still looking for a bit of rail track, a great low cost anvil in the making !
Of corse I like all your finds, but, The mystery and gimmick tools are very interesting. I too have been looking for a rail road track anvil. Very nice haul.
Nice finds, I like that little Mossberg. Man, you should of told me you were looking for one of those track anvils. I got a bunch of them here in the shop.
Nice haul and a not a budget buster either! I have to go with the folding rule. Im partial to them especially the natural finish. I used a folding engineers rule practically daily when I was onsite working till about a year ago. People used to really act like I was doing something old school with the folding rule and my hand sight level. The folding rule fits perfectly in the right leg pocket of carpenter jeans and the sight level on a belt loop. I like those small bicycle wrenches too.
Nice tool haul. I actually like the railroad track. Funny thing is, years ago I could have got as much of that track as I wanted for free, and now I can't find even a small piece of it at a reasonable price. I have one of those Craftsman Ratchets. Don't care for it. I think it is more trouble to use than it is worth. I think it is more of a gimmick.
The craftsman ratchet we be good if you had a lot of long threaded nuts and bolts. Run the nuts up to the tightening point, then turn the ratchet sideways without taking it off to tighten.
I liked your picks. Pretty uncommon. I liked the heavy duty Stanley screwdriver. Its built to take alot of abuse. The Mossberg sleeve wrench is also cool. Mossberg was founded as a company that made sheet metal tools including sockets. My impression is that they were a budget brand (but still very sturdy) compared to other brands that made forged tools. The examples I have seen suggest little time and effort went into giving these tools a nice finish. The sheet metal sockets are intriguing and very sturdy. Mossberg got out of the tool business in the 1930s (I think). The company manufactures firearms and is still owned by the founding family. I like Craftsman tools, but I would have to put this one in the gimmick category.
Thanks for bringing home some work for your subscribers to do. Good to challenge our brains. Regard to the Knipex plyers I can see that be effective to hold a fastener like a nail, or a screw, or like a mini vise to hold a small part. Could be useful when you are cleaning up small parts on the wire, fiber wheel or sander. It could also be for small repeated manufacturing purposes and have a very specific purpose. Maybe Knipex was just brainstorming and that is a beta model. That sure was a nice job of melting steel to join the parts. It was done with precision to match up both sides so well. As for the Craftsman tool, that goes in the ScoutCrafter category of use it maybe 3 times in your whole life? Maybe not a gimmick because it does show some usefulness. I do like that Allway saw, nice find. I would have picked up that Barlow as well, good find. Its hard to detect Imperials clamshell scales. Very innovative.
It seems like consensus is that the pliers were made for hose clamps. I'll try to demonstrate how they work in a future video. I like the swivel head on the ratchet, but the spiral ratcheting feature seems like a gimmick to me. I was sure the vendor was gonna want more for the Barlow. I was happy to get it for a few bucks.
The only thing I thought of with the ratchet was to use the "Yankee" feature if there wasn't enough room to rotate the handle. It sure wouldn't be needed very often.
That craftsman ratchet might have been made or used for the aircraft industry. I worked on General Electric locomotives and some of the other mechanics worked on G.E. aircraft engines and they had some of the strangest tools and always had theyre toolboxes shadowed.(foam liners with the shape of the tool cut out so before the plane took off you checked your toolbox and if a tool was not in its spot ,you better find it)
Interesting haul from Jacktown. The Knipex pliers look to me to have been modified by someone. As you said, they did a very good job. I am not sure of how the modification was meant to be used, but my first thought was that these would now make a good plier to grip a typical hex key for extra leverage perhaps where you need the long side in the hex screw. Typical pliers do not grip the short end of the hex key well. I agree the Craftsman tool is a gimmick. Likely purchased by folks to give to a male member of the family as a gift. The poor person would soon find out this works well as a ratchet, but not as a spiral screwdriver. Before you showed the mechanism, I thought this was going to be a telescopic handle. Dave.
The Craftsman I guess was intended for use as a Yankee nut driver. Seems to me the ratchet knob needs a lock position in between tighten and loosen. Favorite is of course the mystery tool
Knipex look like they were modified to install/remove small engine fuel lines. Love the folding rule. Would look great after a quick rubdown with polishing compound
Nice tool haul, the mystery “ home made” tool is deffo some sort of soft metal crimper, I think. That craftsman ratchet would be too awkward to use, it’s way too gimmicky ☺️, some nice projects, love to see the Mohawk restored. Thanks for the vid ☺️
The Knipex needle nose look like professionally modified pliers. Welds that small and clean are most likely TIG welds. I do not know what specific task they are designed to handle, but I can't ever pass up a good mystery tool either! :)
@357magdad I thought about that, but KD made or makes a nice specialy tool for the old style spring steel hose clamps. I have a pair of them. They swivel and work great. It may be, but I think it was something else.
I have no idea what the mystery pliers are for - it definitely looks like a homemade hack, but well done. The Barlow looks very sweet, and that mega screwdriver needs a resto as well. Overall, nice haul!
Hi Magdad, The Knipex Tool looks like It's Used For Bicycle and Motorcycle Brakes to Hold the Barrel While You adjust the Cable. But only A Guess. I Like The Bicycle Wrench. It Should Free Up Nicely with Either Evaporust or Liquid Wrench 🔧 or Another Penetrate Oil.
I think the mystery tool is something that someone brazed that piece to some needle nose and used it for maybe installing plastic tubing in compression fittings. That's my guess. I really like the Utica adjustable. I'm picturing it cleaned up and given the Magdad touch! 👍🇺🇲 #Chuck2024
It's funny that I picked up a 12" piece of railroad track not long ago. I would be interested in seeing yours worked on. Mine's a bit rustier than yours. The top of yours looked crowned. I would check mine for a crown, but it's in the basement and my legs aren't up to go down & up stairs today. If it's crowned, how would you flatten the top?
That looks a lot like a heat sink for soldering wire. It would keep heat from going down the wire. I have smaller ones that look like tweezers for smaller gauge wire
The Craftsman ratchet is gizmotic! Be very careful, you are balanced upon the precipice of a very deep rabbit hole. Gadgets and ratchets cN be very addictive. Prepare a second board to go with those scre starting screwdrivers. Is the oil can copper coated or painted a copper color?
Knipex, didn't make that design, the knipex design was on a regular pliers design. Yours is homemade, it appears to be Tig welded to work as spring type hose clamp removal.
That was a nice tool haul except for the gimmick ratchet. That looked terrible. My favorite buys were the Utica open end adjustable wrench and the rail anvil.
Definitely a gimmick tool. I can;t think I would ever use it. I know why you were attracted to it though, and I would probably have bought it as well. The breast drill is my favourite if you can deal with the damaged gear teeth.
The mystery tool looks like it would make a good hose clamp pliers
I think you're right Glenn!
@@357magdad I used one in the late 60's when working on Maytag washers., and my name is also Glenn!
That mystery tool might be useful for tighting bicycle brake cables. Thanks for the mid-week video.

Damn Dog!! That had to have been over 200 lbs eh!!☻
This was my guess too, for the Knipex pliers, although I was thinking more of it being used to adjust/install the brake and shifting cables.

Every bit of that! I have been off of work because of it.

Mystery tool looks like it can be used to hold a nail while starting to drive it in. We all hat hitting a finger with a hammer.
I explain the mystery tool at the end of this video:

Spring clamp, home made pliers is my guess.
Thanks David!
Mag Dad, How about making a new handle for your 12" Stanley screwdriver sometime soon?
I've got a couple tiny lathe projects ahead of it, but I got an interesting wood handle project coming soon...
Knipex, didn't make that design, the knipex design was on a regular pliers design. Yours is homemade, it appears to be Tig welded to work as spring type hose clamp removal.
Thanks!
It is definitely a gimmick tool. Though if you put a deep socket on it, it would be helpful for running a nut down a long stud or bolt.
I like the swivel head design.
That was a nice tool haul except for the gimmick ratchet. That looked terrible. My favorite buys were the Utica open end adjustable wrench and the rail anvil.
Thanks Larry!
Lead shot on a fishing line?
Maybe!
I you don't oil those joints, you'll find something wrong with that stick rule damn soon.
I think it was a good find for a dollar!
Knipex says that the "K" in their name is pronounced as in "Ka-nip-x".
Thanks! Good to ka-no!
Definitely a gimmick tool. I can;t think I would ever use it. I know why you were attracted to it though, and I would probably have bought it as well. The breast drill is my favourite if you can deal with the damaged gear teeth.
Thanks! I found an even better drill this morning at the flea market!
That ratchet......just when you think you've seen it all.......
A new one sells for $56 on Amazon!
@@357magdad Not to me, it doesn’t !!!
Ugliest ratchet, I’ve ever seen !!!
Nice video.
Thanks!
That ratchet is definitely what I'd call a gimmick tool. Ridiculous lol
It's a solution lookin' for a problem!
@@357magdad lol yep!
