593. Key for a water main stop c*ck or similar with a chipping hammer handle for getting crud off the tap. 594. Crimping tool of some sort. Looks like it would put an indentation or even cut a notch in thin sheet metal. 595. Template for pistol making? Getting the trigger in the right place maybe or the handle angle. 596. For stirring something. Acids maybe because of the glass handle. 597. Gas lamp.

598. A royal card in a deck of playing cards.

594 Nibbling tool. For sloppy, lazy people (like me) to cut thin sheet metal. Shove against the edge of the sheet metal and squeeze the handles. It bites a small rectangle out of the sheet. Leaves sharp edges.

597 Miner's carbide lamp. Put calcium carbide in the bottom. Put water in the top. Gas pressure in the bottom regulates water dripping into the bottom. Water and calcium carbide react to make acetylene gas.

Ha! I wondered what the lightning bolts engraved at the end of it were. Should have tipped me off really.

599 is a picture card from a deck of cards.

The gold-colored thing in the moving strip is a mountainclimbing item- put it in a crack, pull on it, the cams expand out and wedge into the crack.

The red and gray thing- from a tape deck? Rewind, FFwd, stop? Or a logo from a tape/videotape?

Dave

A spring loaded camming-device, usually called a "Friend" for the same reason vacuum cleaners are called "Hoover".

593 - Water or gas shut off tool.

594 - nibbler tool (used to cut thin plastic or THIN sheet metal, or my favorite use which is to make square sided holes in panels for switches)

595 - Flint type igniter for a torch set. Pull the trigger and it sends a bunch of sparks out the front.

596 - Looks like a beaker paddle.

597 - Carbide hand light

598 - Small part of the face of a playing card.

That is actually an exit sign. I think he is asking which item hasn't been shown before. Might be the one that proceeds the exit sign. Everything else has been identified in previous games.

#593 Gas valve handle #594 Nipper (for making holes in light gauge sheet metal) #598 Budweiser can?

The one before it looks like an I-Beam clamp.

I think the only one not previously quizzed in the image of 'three sticks' that look like incense.

Which, I believe, are "punks" or smoldering sticks used for lighting fireworks

[from r.w.]

I have to disagree with the consensus so far on item 594. If it were a sheet metal nibbler it would cut 3 sides to punch out a chunk. This thing appears to only cut 2 sides and would simply fold the piece over and not punch it out. Unless there is a missing die piece to the tool. The backside also looks like a hole punch. If it were an alignment pin I think it would be engaged in the hole for the full travel of the moving head. That said, I have no idea what it's for.

599 Loop4 I don't recall seeing them before, and they look to me like "punk sticks". Light the end, they don't so much burn as glow like a cigar ash, use them for lighting fireworks.

He cheated a little, and showed the device not fully assembled.

I have used one of these, they work quite nicely when the screw's not loose!

Close, but no seegar. they're sparklers.
