The torque wrench is used for RF connectors to set the torque to the correct value, as they need to be at the correct torque to get them to work correctly, as too tight will strip the brass threads on one side or the other, and distort the dimensions of the connector, making it lossy. Too loose and it will also be very lossy as well, with a good chance at high power of arcing over.
Could definitely be a type N connector wrench. They probably just make them in a variety of configurations. For my high pressure cone seal fittings they torque to a very specific value and I have a hell of a time getting a crow's foot on a regular torque wrench in some places. (those fittings are amazing, my system operates at 60 000 PSI, no, that isn't a typo or a joke).
@@Ammoniummetavanadate Would not say N type, this is more likely for high power RF connectors like those used in broadcast and mobile phone towers, where you are attaching to semi flexible cable, hardline or pressurised cables, and the RF power is high. N type yes there is a torque spec, but also it, due to how old it is, is very forgiving of the actual torque used, and it does not really scale power wise, being very iffy above 2kW of RF.
I did not notice the hex size, but many assembly plants use dedicated torque wrenches for close tolerance work such as aerospace. Other times it is used to simplify training and reduce errors. They tell the worker to tighten it until it clicks. I could see a wrench like that used on hydraulic lines.
Thanks Mr Pete. After I saw the makings on that torque wrench, it occured to me that it could be for some type of coaxial cable connector. I use a smaller one that is open ended and 7/16 for cable TV work. They come in 20,30, and 40 in.lb. Some connectors are much bigger and many of the larger ones are made of aluminum. The engraving looks like a what you see on military or aviation, specialty tools.
Item #3 is for reparing tire chains .After the first ice storm I would sell 25 to 50 pair as well as 100+ cross chains. In S. Ind cross chains would only last maybe 3 or 4 ice storms.
I was an IBM Regional tech specialist for 25 years and that first tool was used on IBM 01, Model A, Model B, C & D type bar typewriters to align the fonts on a type bar when they became out of alignment from typist clashing type bars. There were other tools used in conjunction to complete the alignment. Item 3 is also correct but could also be used to open & close Hog rings in upholstery too. 4 & 5 are correct too.
enjoy all your videos and I know you look for comments. I watch a lot of your videos on the cable TY and there is no way to make comments when watching them in this manor. Keep up the good work.
I thought the last was for trimming flowers in the florist place of business. But it looks like maybe mold making which I find double ended is hard unless the handle covered it up to protect a blade to keep it sharp and not cut you.
WOW, that was interesting. Just found your channel by chance - am now a sub too, so I'll have to investigate your videos - another wet day here in England, so I now know how I'll be spending it. Thanks - take care 🙂
I have some Vice Grips that were modified at National Semiconductor for grasping hot planetaries that held wafers in an evaporator for aluminum metal deposition. The planetaries were about two feet in diameter, and held about 22 each of 4 inch dia. Silicon wafers. This was the old BPM fab, Bipolar Memories. Circa 1988.
Now that you mention the glass rods with wool, nylon, and etc. I remember my high school classes where this was taught. I don't need a fancy jar, I just touch something metal and get a spark from my finger tips. Years ago as a child our church had a wool carpet that ran along the main aisle towards the alter. Of course us pranksters would slide our feet against the carpet and touch the ear of the guy in front of us, SNAP and then lots of giggles.... I think the statute of limitations has expired on the disrespect of the church service, grin...
Fun Facts! (c/o wikipedia) - The first locking pliers, with the trade name Vise-Grip, were invented by William S. Petersen in De Witt, Nebraska, United States in 1924.[1][2] Later, in 1955, in the United Kingdom, M K Mole and Son, a hand tool manufacturing company, under the managing direction of Thomas Coughtrie, began making nearly identical pliers.
These Vise-Grip locking pliers are still commonly known as 'Mole grips' in the UK, even though the Mole company ceased to exist decades ago (bought out by Stanley, I think).
7:01 the title under the picture says it is Lt Comander james and Carol F. Hunt I can only presume it is one of those "hunting accidents" like dick cheney had.
One guy we had was using a 3' cheater on the torque wrench to make it a breaker bar. The wrench was curved when he was finished and from then on it clicked really early. Rip Billy Funk it was good working with you.
That chandelier chain tool is rubbish. You don't open chain links by pulling them apart, you twist them sideways so when you close the link the ends line up again. I guess here it don't matter too much, but for some chains you don't want to have a gap in the link because it wasn't fully closed.
I own one of those tools and it fits chandelier chain perfectly, works just like he showed and that what the person who sold it said it was. I have also used your method.
My area we go through cases of the cheap unfinished fixture chain for safety in case fixtures fall out of the drop ceilings. Those pliers work a treat and close the gap really well and much better than twisting. Only drawback is they weigh down the tool bag. Iirc they're made in aluminum ones that work just as well.
For snow chains, you absolutely open them by pulling them apart. And close by pushing back closed. Thats how the tools work. No twisting. Twisting would be silly.
No name on the double ended chisel? Have seen those before, can't recall in what trade. Perhaps Japanese Noh mask making? Thought it might be a wax carver's double ended gouge. Perhaps a bowl makers wood gouge . . . Idk

The last item is used to clean up sand molds when casting iron in a foundry.
I believe the last tool is for Mold making during the casting process.

Typebar is what it's called....the typeface is soldered to it. Tool # 1 is for adjusting the typeface sideways relative to the typebar.
Is that tool #1 ?
Yes
Thanks@@brianroberts4349
the "link tool" was probably used for upholstery staples as well
The chain plyers are actually pretty slick! They certainly would make that job much easier.
#1 is for aligning type bars on Ibm model A-B-C-D type writer. I used them all the time, usually in law office. they where picky. still got one.
👍
Number 1 is for side to side tupe alingment on typewriter
Item #3 is for reparing tire chains .After the first ice storm I would sell 25 to 50 pair as well as 100+ cross chains. In S. Ind cross chains would only last maybe 3 or 4 ice storms.
👍
That double ended tool looks to be a molders slick
The "Old Man And The Sea" a favorite of mine a great story teller/author, in my opinion.
Well... I got one of these right. Better than my average, lately!
That tool to take links out of the chandelier chain is very slick and handy.

Thanks again
That beaker to prove static electricity- seems like a lot to go through to prove such a simple thing.
Great job. Thank you 😊
Thanks Lyle...
I had no idea on any of them but thanks for the insight

Thanh you for posting
Morning Lyle
Those look oddly like what the dentist used to take out a tooth yesterday.
I got one the flare nut torque wrench
I will have to go back and check later when there are more than three comments. I really would like to know what those items are used for.😊
the last tool would also be useful to sculptors
7:01 the title under the picture says it is Lt Comander james and Carol F. Hunt I can only presume it is one of those "hunting accidents" like dick cheney had.
No 4 must be for pipe connector unions 🤔
I think IBM typewriter had a ball with the letters on it rather than arms. Could be wrong but I remember wondering how that ball worked.
They had both types
@@mrpete222....types.....I see what you did there....
The static electricity tester got me. I think I'll seek out ways to do that with grandkids.
I think 5 is called a Leyden Jar
A Leyden Jar is an early form of capacitor consisting of a glass jar with layers of metal foil on the outside and inside.
@@stime6472 Initially with a foil layer outside, a rod down the centre and filled with brine or salt water.
Not a bad guess tho'
Solder….AntarCtica….Aluminium….
Tool 4 is for hydraulic pipe fittings in aircraft engines
⭐🙂👍
4:26 Buba would not use an 18" cheater bar.
He would use a 1" impact instead.
One guy we had was using a 3' cheater on the torque wrench to make it a breaker bar. The wrench was curved when he was finished and from then on it clicked really early. Rip Billy Funk it was good working with you.
The cheater changed the tune of the stubborn clicker. Busted. Taught him a lesson he did.

@@fanplant I didn't even think about safety chain. You have increased their usefulness for me. I deal with that more anyway. Thanks.
For snow chains, you absolutely open them by pulling them apart. And close by pushing back closed. Thats how the tools work. No twisting. Twisting would be silly.
I opened and removed several links from a swag lamp with ordinary pliers. After taking out several feet I closed them with the same pliers!

It says Austria on it.
