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! :) 371 tubing bender

372 Firehose connector wrench?

373 lightbulb screw base

374 business end of a window push bar? Used to use one to open/close windows in grade school.

375 H.K. Porter high leverage crimp and cut tool for wire splicing

364. Some kind of pocket sized tire pressure gauge.

366. No fine winos here yet? It's a twin lever operated corkscrew.

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.

370 - A crimper of some sort 371 - A tubing bender of some sort 372 - A five gallon bucket lid opener 373 - Flexible conduit? 375 - A crimper of some sort

Yup! Missed the screw hole for retaining it on the wood pole the first time I looked.

# 370: for crimping caples. # 371: tube bender, low cost, taiwan crap # 372: Milk can opender. Or shoe horn for bootleggers # 373: Light bulb thread # 374: Poor guy. Must be a pain for his girl-friend too. # 375: crimp pliers again.

Coax ruiner. Could also be a tool for installing the little thing that holds the eraser on a pencil, they look a lot alike.

Tube bender

Patent electrical shorting device.

Head for a window opening pole. We had one in every classroom in my grade and high school

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.
