Does anyone recognize this tool? A neighbor purchased it for $5 at an antique store and was told it was a Model A tool.

place a piece of sheet metal in it and squeeze the handle and see what it does?

gridleak · 10-01-2013, 09:01 AM

looks like a sawset

Tom Wesenberg · 10-01-2013, 09:02 AM

Everything unknown is for a Model A.

Would that be a tool to lock two pieces of sheet metal together by punching an upset in them?

I vote with gridleak: It's a saw set.

DougVieyra · 10-01-2013, 11:35 AM

As everyone who has been to a Dentist's Office knows, it is a 'Teeth Straightener'. It also doubles as a 'Tooth-Puller'. It is one of the first tools bought by a newly established Dentist. You can still find them today on both eBay and CraigsList - look under "Dental Supplies".
And by the way - they are manufactured in Eureka, California by the Henway Corporation ! Small world, huh . . . . .

If there made in Eureka wouldn't it be a tooth straightener? Not to many sets of teeth over there

. Didn't they invent the tooth brush there? Any where else it would have been the teeth brush

I hate to say this and spoil all the fun, but I think I saw that tool being used on something in the Model A Service Bulletins. I was looking through the book, half asleep so maybe I was dreaming.

DUNN1929 · 10-01-2013, 02:49 PM

It does look like a saw-set, but it is not. Saw-sets have an anvil that the plunger pushes the tooth against to "SET" them and ultimately the width of the kerf.

Could be one of those left handed board stretchers, but the handles should be red. I know this because the right hand board stretchers have blue handles.

Fred K-OR · 10-01-2013, 04:06 PM

Guess I was wrong about the tool. There is one on page 516 of the Service Bulletins that looks like the tool above. The number of the tool is 5Z-2794 shown on page 516 but it is a bit different that the one above.

Having been in the electrical industry all my working days, seems to resemble a crimp tool for compression fit lugs. If from an auto shop, for crimping battery cable lugs on. any markings? T&B, Ilsco, Blackburn?

That would be my guess also.
