Here is another post in my amateur “What is it?” tool thread. As usual, I will try to answer questions about their composition, size and how they can move. Pictures are provided via Dropbox.

POST16_TOOL61. This rubber and plastic tool is almost 12 inches long. There are two white rubber disks with metal compression springs behind them. The disks have small protruding tabs. The black plastic levers pull up on the middles of the disks when in the flush position. There is a warning to “Check strength prior to each use” on the handle. There are also two small openings which show a red or green color. The color changes from red to green when a rubber disk is pressed onto a flat surface and the lever is moved to the flush position.

POST16_TOOL62. This wooden and iron tool is a little less than 5 inches long. The metal shaft ends in a threaded screw point. The metal shaft continues from there towards the handle with a sharp-edged spiral in it. The spiral does not complete even one revolution over its 1½ inch length.

POST16_TOOL63. This tool is clearly in the metal pliers’ family. It is almost 6½ inches long. The handles have a rubbery red plastic coating. One jaw is curved relative to the other leaving a gap when the two meet at the end. The other jaw has a flat surface but has a 1 mm depression for ½ of an inch nearer to the pivot point. Both jaws have small ridges on the inner surfaces running perpendicular to the long axis.

POST16_TOOL64. This metal tool is a little less than 3 inches long and a little more than 1 inch across. One end has two dull prongs. There is a name of a business on the tool which has been hidden in the picture.

61 is one of many suction cup grip devices. First one I ever saw was
a *much* bigger version for pulling up tiles in a raised floor in a
computer center. They are used for moving any number of things with
smooth surfaces - window glass, mirrors, tile, countertops, etc
