Young Ed Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Been sorting and combining my tools after the recent addition. Found a couple oddballs that I can't identify. More to come Quote
Paul Beard Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Looks like six can & bottle openers (we called them church keys) Large soild one looks like a bottle opener. Quote
Young Ed Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 Paul what brands? haha Those I had identified just thought it funny that the previous owner kept that many in his toolbox. Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Looks like six can & bottle openers (we called them church keys) Large soild one looks like a bottle opener. Large solid one is a spanner wrench. I have several old church keys. One is marked FECKERS BEER. I have never had a Feckers. Quote
Young Ed Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 Don the bigger one is very light weight. I believe its aluminum. I'd be surprised if its a wrench. Quote
Big_John Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 LOL... I had a Bernz cutter. It pretty much couldn't cut anything and I tossed it years ago. The piece on the top looks like the handle from a "close quarters" hack saw we made in High School. Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Don the bigger one is very light weight. I believe its aluminum. I'd be surprised if its a wrench. Looks like a tool for trap nuts on PCV plastic pipe. Quote
Big_John Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Don the bigger one is very light weight. I believe its aluminum. I'd be surprised if its a wrench. Yep, that's a spanner wrench. I've seen many of them made from aluminum. Quote
busycoupe Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 The one just above the Bernsamatic cutter looks like a latch hook for pulling the yarn into a latch hook rug. The one with the threads at the bottom looks like an adapter to fasten onto an electric motor shaft to attach something like a grindstone or buffing disk. - A poor man's grinder made from a washing machine motor. I had one for years. Dave Quote
james curl Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 A lot of people used the "Church Key" to open oil cans when they were made of steel. The other end was also used to open paint cans or any type of similar can with a push in lid. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 that first tool looks to be missing the backing bar that inserts into the hole and holds the blade..sort of a close quarter hack saw..got one of them here somewhere.. Quote
Young Ed Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 Tim I did find a couple pieces that looked like the tension piece of a hacksaw. Perhaps its some assembly required? Quote
