The Ames set appears to be a machinist precision seal removal kit. It allows you to twist into o rings and seals. The tools with the ends that spread open are screw starters. Push the one end down into the sleeve and the two sides come together and you insert into standard head screws and push the barrel down. That causes those ends to spread and grip the sides of the screws. There are also non-conductive versions of those that i use as an electrician.

Thanks for the explanation, it's always great to learn from the comments.

absolutely incredible 👍👍

You did very well. The lufkin planer gauges and little machinist vise are the Crown Jewels of that haul.

Thanks

Very nice haul! I really like that Penncraft dial indicator set and the tool boxes themselves. Really interesting video! Best regards, Bill.

[@thenkgarage]

Thanks! I also really like the penncraft, its super cool!

[@thetoolbandit]

Great value! That Craftsman slip joint is a bit rare I would say.

[@thenkgarage]

I was happy to find it, its a keeper for the collection!

Waterloo is a box manufacturer manufacturing under their brand and contracting for other brands. They made most of the Craftsman chests for a very long time. Their machinist chests were very similar to Kennedy. I always thought that they were slightly inferior to Kennedy machinist chests and substantially inferior in the mechanic chest line. I am not certain who made the older box that you purchased.
The Starrett depth "bore" gauge is a depth micrometer or depth mic. A bore gage measures bore diameter. I am not sure why the interchangeable anvil is sticking out the back of the mic.
The angle gauge is a "fish tail". It is a multifunctional gage for grinding HHS tool threading bit and setting up the tool bit in the lathe for single point threading.
The steel rules are called rules or scales. They come in many configurations. These are rigid. Some are flexible. General are average quality but serviceable. I own numerous brands, but none are as nice a Starrett. Starrett scales are very expensive. The Starrett micrometers look disturbingly beat up, and probably won't resale for much.
The mystery brush is probably an impregnated brush with carbide or aluminum oxide and can be handy for cleaning small stubborn things like painted data plates.
Planer gauges are a legacy tools that served for dimensioning and setting up planers. Planers are obsolete technology making the gauges obsolete, but there are numerous other machinist setup and inspection functions that can be done with these tools. The threaded holes are for attaching precision extensions for increased reach. I own one that I wanted for surface plate operations and to transfer established dimensions from a height gage on the surface plate to a mill setup. As you get deeper into machining, you will understand applications where a planer gauge has advantages. I don't own a set of Jo blocks. I use sliding parallel gages to do similar setup and inspection operations. Sliding parallels are quite thin so the amount of reference purchase is less than the wider bodied planer gage. The wider footprint reduces angular error when setting up say from thw T slotted table on the mill. Their original purpose was very specific and they are a valid precision tool. The parallel surfaces are parallel and square to very high tolerance. I own a Pratt & Whitney with attachments, arguably a better brand than either of yours. I purchased mine for $35.
I am only a hobby machinist, but I serviced machining equipment for 3.5 decades. I have an extensive machine shop set up for hobby pleasure. A retirement pursuit is "mastering" manual machining skills. I lost interest in CNC after an intimate career in CNC.

@ 7:22 is a tool for marking the centre of countersunk holes when fitting hardware such as hinges.
@7:44 I think theyre slotted screw holders - for starting small alot head screws??

[@thenkgarage]

Thanks

At 4:55, definitely not lock picks. The closest thing I've seen to those are model shipbuilder's tools. At 11:47, loosen the collet, pull the spike out, turn it around, tighten collet, and you have one of the most useful all around tools ever.

Thanks

[@wreinholtz]

First been waiting since teased last video

[@thenkgarage]

Thanks! We’ll have another machinist haul in 2 weeks too!

[@stevecramer517]

The old craftsman pliers r really nice. Going to keep them ???

[@thenkgarage]

They're staying in the collection!

[@grntitan1]

Waterloo made their own boxes. In fact they made tool boxes for other brands including Craftsman.

[@thenkgarage]

Thanks

[@travisemmite9481]

Are you going to keep the waterloo chest?

[@thenkgarage]

I didn’t but it already sold

[@Rigrocket]

Brass rods look like they are for gun cleaning.
