[bridger]

It may be a wrong side of the pond thing.... but I don't understand either of your tools. Can you explain what they are?

 

[rafezetter]

One handed hammer? is this a trick question?

 

[t8hants]

Isn't the T shaped slot above the claw of the hammer supposedly for holding a nail. Look carefuly at the last photo, and see below.

I do, haven't seen snail height gauges in a long time.

the spanners look like wrenches for cnc chucks they just have slots in them not hexagonal so the nipple on the end catches in it and you can open it.

Those look like wrenches for a certain type of nut often found in elderly machines. For instance the upper bearing in my spindle moulder is held in place by one of those nuts. My wobble saw also uses one of those wreches to adjust the amount of wobble.

The Swedish term for the wrench type is "haknyckel" though I don't know the english word. Very useful so I wish I had a full set of them.

 

[manxman]

Look like hight adjustable coil over suspension spanners to me, though I doubt you'd get that on a Rolls.

I put them on ebay buy now £80.00 and they sold straight away

 

[scrimper]

I similar lighter tool is used on cycle repair and for adjusting the 'oilite' bearing on Coronet lathes where they are called C spanners.

 

[Harbo]

I call them Collett Spanners.

[Phil Pascoe]

They've always been "C" spanners to me.

 

[wizard]

i call them £80.00 in the bank

 

[wizard]

now with balls and springs fitted, bit of an eye opener :shock:

They're for the piston return spring circlip on the Silver Shadow Shooting Brake model. (The one with the wood round the back).
