What is it? XC

515. By the way, that "map odometer" is formally called an "opisometer".

524 is a tool for replacing window screens that use plastic or rubber to hold the screen in place. One end forces the screen into the channel and creates a form for the rubber strip. The second conforms to the rubber and forces the rubber into the channel thus locking the screen in place.

Thanks, I was wondering if "map odometer" was correct but couldn't find another term for it.

The head of this tool probably weighs between four and five pounds.

Here is a photo of a couple of sand rammers:

The head on the larger one looks the same as the tool in my photo, and the smaller one looks very much like the second reaming iron that I previously mentioned. The handles are obviously different, but the business ends look exactly like the number 518.
