and again some stupid guesses from germany

977 for bending metal wire

978 to remove round shaped things by pulling them at their outer shape

979 carpenter hammer. the sharp tip can be used to fasten the hammer to the
wood, to keep hands free. or to use the hammer as a handle to move heavy
wooden objects

980 a whatthehellisthis

981 no idea, not even a whatthehellisthis

982 this one is needed when your neighbour uses his fuel driven lawn mower
at sunday afternoon. but you can utilize cheaper things than damascus steel
for this.


greetings from germany

978. Automotive or IC engine valve spring compressor.
979. I'm guessing a tack hammer. Point is for making a hole to start
the tack.
982. Assuming 7" is the full knife length I'm guessing boot knife.

I'd say it's a Sgian Dubh ("Black Knife") from Scottish history. It
gets its name from the black wood that makes the handle.

982 is a boot knife. Although it could also be carried in an arm
sheath, it's a bit long for that.

According to R.H. :

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as usual.

977) Hmm ... looks sort of like a quick-change blade for an
axe, but more likely to be used for something slower speed, like
perhaps a blade for a hydraulically operated wire cutter for
large gauge wires, such as perhaps 4-0 gauge.

978) A cheap version of a pulley or gear puller. The two shorter
inner arms press on the center of whatever it is, while the
outer arms hook under the edge of the pulley or whatever and
pull up on it relative to the central part.

979) Looks like a hammer tailored for installing and removing
fence staples, with an afterthought for pulling nails as well.

Fairly light weight for the length of the handle, I think.

980) Not sure about this. Perhaps for appling seals to sealing
wax?


981) No guess -- and I think that the Neatorama guesses are all off
the track as well.

982) This looks like a knife balanced for a knife thrower's act.

Now to see what others have guessed.

Enjoy,
DoN.

979 carpenter hammer. the sharp tip can be used to fasten the hammer to
the
wood, to keep hands free. or to use the hammer as a handle to move heavy
wooden objects

I thought it was a box hammer when I took the photo, but now I think your
answer is correct.

Don't know about eye damage, but a cows tail can be pretty tough,
especially if coated with little balls of S**T! Been batted pretty
hard more than once while milking using machines, as you still have to
squat down and service the milker. Short term cure is to yank the tail
up between the leg and the udder. I can understand wanting something
like #981 when spending more time in the danger zone when hand
milking.

981. I didn't know that there was a need for such a product, but apparently
when milking cows, serious eye injury can occur from the switching of the
cow tail.

As an old farmboy, I can assure you that cow's tails are dangerous.
Particularly if they have anything old and dried in it. Hair grows off the
end of it and it can often reach to the shoulder area.

The tail is the primary way that cows get rid of insects on their back. And
they become deadly accurate with those tails. And there is enough muscle
behind it that they can easily cause injury to a human face or eyes.

If a cow was troublesome with the tail when we tried to milk her, we just
tied it up with some rope. They would get mad, but we got our milk and did
not get hurt.
