At 6:17, that craftsman tool is for setting magneto distances. Cars long long ago had to have the contacts inside the distributor cap cleaned and gapped occasionally. This is a big part of what used to be called a tune up
That's a nice haul for $21. @4:42 that's a small wood chisel. @6:31 the bits that have the ledge/step on the end are for a Yankee drill/screwdriver, that's a really nice little box. @7:04 First chisel is a rock drill. @8:00 hollow chisel/punch for material like leather, same as one at the end of the video.
The little bits with the stepped shaft go to a Yankee push drill. They were acquired by North Brothers. Often the North Brothers logo will be larger, but it will still refer to the tool as a Yankee
Don't use glue on the file handles. Never ever hit a file with a hammer. If you need to tighten the handle hit the handle with your hammer. If it is still too loose, drop two or three toothpicks in the hole and then repeat. The tang, the part inside, is very soft compared to the rest of the file. Traditionally, it would be heated up and hammered on that way.
The threaded drills thingies are called screw starters. Same function as an awl, but more accurate. The last one you held up with the very funky end of the shaft is quite valuable. It comes out of a kit from case that was a pocket knife handle with a blade and ax and screw starter all in a kit that could be put in the same handle. These kits get split up over the years, and I'm sure you know case knives are extremely collectible. That's what you have. You will do well on eBay
@@Trevs_garage No, a Yankee screw driver is the kind where you push on it and it will turn the drill or driver bit. This is a file handle, you typically have multiple files and a few handles.
Hold on to the husky gear. The old stuff is not terribly desirable, but it is quite rare. Since home Depot took over the husky line, as it grows in popularity, the old stuff will take on a higher and higher value.
Do you mind a suggestion? You seem young and new to tool collecting. When you're starting out with limited knowledge and a limited budget, your goal is to learn before you buy. I think you would do well to focus on either one brand or one type of tool like screwdrivers or pliers. As you learn about them, you will end up learning a lot of the history of the tools, what makes them collectible, and you will find that your knowledge of value grows immensely. When you start out collecting a bit of everything, it's kind of information overload. You're not going to be able to remember everything you research and the research will not be applicable to unknown tools you encounter at yard sales. One great trick is to order a book! There are some great books that focus on the value of adjustable wrenches throughout 300 years for example. There are the same type books for sockets, screwdrivers, etc. Welcome to the hobby! It's great you'll have a good time!
Thanks! I’ve been collecting for a couple years ago but I’m still learning, I mainly buy the name brands like snapon Mac tools sk and others old tools.
They are not punches. They are called cold chisels. The very sharp one that you held up is called a cape chisel. Believe it or not, that is how work men put the slot in shafts for keys. A man would literally hammer and chisel the steel
Nice haul, done very nice sockets and ratchets , I’d say you did well. Love the two small “ junior “ hacksaws. Deffo will subscribe, UK 🇬🇧 here 😊
"That's all I got" is a BIG understatement! That's a great haul with some interesting tools. Well done, very enjoyable!
Nice tools. They look parched. Looks like they need some love..
The driver bits with the v-slot are for the Stanley Yankee driver the biggest model!
Wow you made out big time! Love the old ratchets

4:19 - Don't put glue in that. Those handles are made to swap out files.
I think their called yankee screwdriver

The chisel in question is a capping chiesl

At 4 minutes and 40 seconds that is a graver. It is used to carve decorative patterns in metal.
That's a good deal for 21 bucks.

They are called cold chisels because they are for work done after the blacksmith is done with the hot work
U had a hand full of ratching screwdriver bits Stanley.if no one helped
