Default What is it? XCIX

According to R.H. :
A new group of photos has just been posted, one of them is a little creepy
looking, so don't say that I didn't warn you.;-)

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as usual:

569) Looks like a wrench for on-the-road repairs to a bicycle.

I'm not sure what the large round hole is for -- perhaps
mounting it somewhere to the bike frame to make sure that it is
around when you need it.

It appears to be fiberglass filled plastic, so it would not be
strong enough to use on a motorcycle, and the largest size
wrench section is too small for real utility on a motorcycle,
let alone a car.

The choice of material may be to allow it to be carried on an
airplane in these days of fear of any metal tools. :-) it *does*
say "Travel wrench" on it, after all.

570) Hmm ... at a guess, it is used for making masks with the
ability to build a pattern from various features to fit on the
basic skull part.

Or -- perhaps they would be used by an undertaker in rebuilding
a damaged face for presentation prior to the burial?

571) It doesn't look right for a thread restoration file, and in
particular there is not the difference is pitch from one side to
another, so I'll have to say "I don't know" on this one. Not
even a reasonable guess.

572) Hmm ... Sargent is a maker of locks.

So -- I would guess that this one is intended for cutting
security cables to length in the notch closer to the hinge, and
for crimping ferrules over the cut cable to provide something to
lock to, and something which won't let the strands of the cable
fray.

573) I think that is a de-thatching tool -- for breaking up
accumulated lawn trimmings which have worked their way between
the grass stems.

574) This looks as though it is to grip something wound in a large
ID coil. Perhaps something like an electrician's snake (tape).
The blue pads are to grip the edges of the coil.

Normally, they are supplied in plastic or metal holders, but
there might be some times when being able to loosen it and
stretch the tape out full length might be handy.

575) ---------- nope, nothing more to guess about. ----------

Now to see what other guesses may say.

Enjoy,
DoN.
