I have a pair of those hooks from when I went riding (horses) every week.
They fit into loops at the top of my riding boots, enabling me to pull

them
on easily.
They're boot hooks. Mine are identical, grooves and all, to the one in

the
photo.

Correct, it's a boot puller.

243 appears to me to be some kind of cutter. I have at my parents house a
wire stripper, which is some what similar to this. I'm thinking for this,
maybe a strap cutter, for cutting straps off of packing skids.


It could be a wire stripper, but I don't think it's a cutter because the
part that looks like it cuts doesn't get close enough to the other piece.
The wire in the last photo is an example of what happens when this tool is
used, probably the same would happen with a strap.

It's not a baling hook...

I'll post the answers to this set tomorrow, along with another set either
Wed. or Thurs.



236 may possibly be a link remover for working on bicycle or chain saw
chain.

238 is very obvious to me. It is a P-38 military can opener.

240 may be a shoe stretcher.

241 appears to be a drill gage.

I found a link to the answers. I didn't do too badly.

I'm trying to ID a tool, I haven't been able to verify what it's used for
and was hoping someone here might know, it's number 243 on this site:

236 looks a bit like a pipe flaring tool.

240 is a car battery terminal spreader tool. Got one.
