Post by LANCE65 »

These were in the side boxes on my flatbed...anyone know what they are for? It appears the previous owner worked on Cats and Deers quite a bit.

The tool with the chain looks like a filter wrench.

The big wrench is a hammer wrench. Made for being smacked with a hammer. the thing with a screwdriver handle and a hunk of stuff on the end is an old soldering iron. Looks like might be some masonary strikers for striking the joints between brick... or might be leading spoons?

That is a chain wrench, which works like a strap wrench, and is typically used on piping. Your tools look like a collection of here and theres. The open end wrenches are just known as engineers wrenches, made before the popularity of combination wrenches. It looks like the typical collection carried by any farmer/rancher.....a little bit of everything for irrigation, bailers, tractors, etc.
