Ref. the nail puller - commonly called a Bahco 38 Nail Puller: the sliding handle is quite a loose fit on the main shaft. It is used as a hammer, sliding up and down to force the two jaws into a floorboard on either side of the head of a cut nail, and also can be extended to provide maximum leverage when pulling the nail out. I recently bought a load of floor joists from a Victorian house in Oxford. They were peppered with cut nails; the Bahco never failed once getting them out.

Excuse the quality. Phones dead and the old iPad is poor for them.

Whole assembly on top is hinged and sprung so undoing the adjustment screw it descends.
Scribe makes sense. There's a 2mm ish hole on the top thumbscrew shaft.

picked few of them up for a fiver a piece at auto jumbles

 

[Seadog]

No nor me. Lots of home made bits there. Thought it might be part of a clamp.
Sure il find a use.

He had a big planer gauge too but couldnt find it.

Any idea on this.
Little grub near my fingers adjusts height. Some kind of measuring equipment I assumed.

Its correct name is a surface gauge

 

[Pete.]

Yeah it's a surface gauge and the stem is in upside-down. The ball is supposed to be at the bottom though almost every one I see has it at the top.

This fantastic bench drill. Nice size unit that serious weight.

Lowest speed of 2800RPM. What are you going to use it for?

Nice bit of kit. They are still in use at the old Dunlop factory in Coventry

 

[MattH]

High speed drilling

4mm and smaller.

It seems a little over the top for drilling pcb's!

 

[God mode restorations]

I didn't really have a set plan for it. Other than drilling small stuff. But I do need to gear it down for it to be of some use.

 

[Shox Dr]

Monster machine for 4mm holes

Some one has geared it down previous. All I need to do is get some multi step pulleys and job done.

Didn't take long for you to get into its entrails. Will you be doing a full refur'b along the lines of the lathe one? If so, I'll be following it with interest/admiration.

Yes mate I will indeed be doing a full strip and rebuild.

Not a bacho but same idea.
Will chuck it in the van. Come in handy.
This has been my go to tool for nail removal for years. Mine must be 15 years old and still going strong. Hammer under the head and bang the end with a hammer, out they come.

Only any good if the heads stay on. Not so for the bacho.
The recently acquired one will get me out of a hole I'm sure.
