Why not an ordinary "pipe cutter" or whatever it is called?

The tool shown doesn't cut, it compresses.

370 Crimper for multi-pin plug connectors' pins and sockets. That one
happens to be for Buchanan plugs, but works on a lot of others. Crimp
pins on all the wires then push the pins into the plug base. Don't
misplace any: The boss gets shirty about that. DAMHIK!

373 does not look quite like a lamp base. I think it is a flex line, like
used to hook up a gas stove. The rest have been answered, or I don't know.

I'm afraid I'm all to familar with #366. It usually comes out around
5ish, especially when there is a plate of cheese and crackers.

Oh Hell...let's get real, a hot dog works for me too!

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again:

370) Crimper for individual electrical connector pins which are
subsequently inserted into the connector body. I do see
something which looks strange about this. In the first and
second shots, it appears to have only three indenters (an
unusual number), while in the third shot it has the more common
four indenters.

Frequently, there is a mount on the other side which accepts a
bushing which will hold the pin at just the right depth, to
assure that the crimp occurs where the walls are thinned to
crimp onto the wire.

The hole looks rather large in this one, so I believe that it is
for a larger pin than those which I normally use.

371) A device for bending a specific size of tubing. It looks too
small to be a "hickey" for bending electrical conduit, so I
suspect that it is for bending copper tubing for compressed air
or for water. It looks as though it is intended to drop over a
large pin (and rotated on that), while the pin is mounted to a
vise or a workbench, and it should have a second hook to hold
the other side of the bend.

The material looks like cast zinc (pot metal), so I doubt that
it would be strong enough for stainless steel tubing. However,
I might be mis-identifying the material.

372) No real idea about this one. It sort of looks like a tool for
disengaging lead-acid battery terminals, but if so, it would
seriously risk shorting the battery -- a bad idea.

It might be a tool for removing the bungs on steel drums
(barrels).

373) This looks like the rolled threads in the base of a standard
incandescent light bulb.

374) This fits on the end of a wooden pole -- or maybe a pipe.
From the shape, it looks as though it is for guiding a rope over
an open-sided pulley from below.

375) Another crimper. From the looks of the dies, and the serious
amount of metal in the head, I suspect that it is for crimping
sleeves on steel cable runs -- to make eye splices or similar
functions.

Now to see what others have posted.

Enjoy,
DoN.

I agree - it's too long and not smooth enough to be a bulb base. My first
guess was "gooseneck", but it's not squarish enough - I like the "gas line"
guess.

Thanks!

# 370 is a very standard crimping tool
#371 is a tubing bender - I think JC Whitney among others sold this, maybe
still do
#372 looks a lot like a boot puller (for getting those stylish and mud caked
boots off)
#373 looks like a piece of flex conduit
#375 looks like a crimper for swaging the steel crimp or threaded fitting
onto steel (wire) cables

Yes, this one has the mount on the other side for the bushing.
