Hi, Is the hole in the end of the spanner square or round? If square it could be a brake adjuster spanner, or if round it could be to attach a lanyard for working at height to stop you dropping it on some ones head. The pliers are for closing a lead seal on something like an electricity meter. The tool with it should have a small wheel in it which is for scoreing when cutting glass.

There isn't a hole in the end of the spanner, I'd assumed it was full of dirt, but no just a concave dome, both sides.
I'm sure I remember seeing numbers on the tool with the pliers too hence putting them together, I'm probably wrong though.

Excellent haul - I might be in touch about some AF spanners, but could do with seeing what I have already first.

Ok a few more oddities from the collection: An un-sized Britool spanner with a concaved end, is this for bashing the ends on rivets perhaps? I thought these might be for cutting keys, there are numbers on the dials: I've now a good collection of A/F and Whitworth spanners now: Picture 2 , the top one is a glass cutter. you score the glass with the wheel that should be in one corner, then snap it. If cutting a small amount off the square indents are to slide over the glass thickness &snap off bit by bit. i 've got one here somewhere that used to be my fathers.

Hi .Colnerov. Sorry you are wrong the pliers are used for setting the teeth on woodworking hand saws. Had to set and sharpen all the carpenters saws as a young lad about the time BigBen was a wristwatch.

Hi, Mudpud. Don't apologise, always willing to learn even at my age. I use to go to a bonded wharehouse to collect bar boxes for aircraft and the custom officers used pliers like that for the seals. I suppose they can be had with interchangeable heads for different applications. A bit like mole grips, basic action just different jaws.

Here is a box load I seem to have forgotten to show you all; mostly engineering tat I think: Lathe parts, morse taper adapters and fixed ends iirc: Loads of taps & dies in here, but probably all imperial stuff. I believe this is a cylinder head holder for record vices: Erm.... A rather large whitworth tap, or die, wait which way round is it again?

Hi
I`m only guessing but the thin spanner ends in the leather pouch look like bicycle cone spanners,bottom bracket spanners etc.. (can`t quite make out the makers mark which might give a bit more info)
Cheers Adrian

Another day, another car load of chod from an auction: Ok so Eddisons will, every now and then email me about a dispersal sale or two, and usually they are far enough away from me to not even bother entertaining the idea of bidding on any of them, well that is until last week... In a small unit outside of Nottingham lay a cavalcade of tat for the picking, from mega expensive engineering equipment right down to boxes of curse word for mere mortals like me, I bid my bids, went to work, bid a bit more and then logged off, for fear of getting last minute trigger happy. I bid on 6 lots, I won only 3, these are they: £5 + fees for this one, there is a tap and die kit with it also (not pictured) A little over budget on this at £16 but all the drawers are roller bearing jobbies, and there are a load of cutting/ sanding discs in the top of it. Lastly this one, which I'll admit was a bit of a boo-boo on my part: I took the ratchet to be a longish 1/2" drive job, and well, it isn't it's 3/4" making the scale of the box much bigger than I was expecting, the box was so heavy it required a forklift to move it from the upper floor of the unit! Well it all got loaded into a rather creaking Xsara and whisked back to Ruff's Garage for analysis... This is the biggest shackle I have ever seen, it's rated to 5 1/4 Tonnes! (biro for scale) Lots more shackles amongst the chod in here, I haven't had time to look through them properly yet though! I'm assuming this is part of a lathe or a drill press? It has a maker's mark of BSA tools. Bearing swivels, used for pulling out cables apparently! These appear to be turn plates, but I'm not sure on the purpose of them. I am more than happy with the cabinet and some of the tools, but I could do with finding out what some of the other stuff is before I chuck it on ebay.

It could well be, there is some writing on it that I'll have to clean up and see if I can find out a bit more info on it.

Smellyferret: I must admit I deliberately didn't go to the latest auction as I think the amount of tat it getting out of hand!
Optimusprime: Thanks for that, I'm hoping to find a new home for them shortly!
