Ha ha I was just wondering when another one of these threads would appear. Thanks for your efforts this one looks to be challenging.

xflyboy · 01-09-2014, 10:28 PM

No 1 some type of seed spreader ????

No 2 used for turning a piece of wood ????

GOPAPA · 01-09-2014, 11:07 PM

A lever action cowpoke barb wire fence stapler

A hand held frog turning tool ofor a rail road Wye ( a railroader maybe know about this tool)

hgs_notes · 01-10-2014, 01:42 AM

My guesses are #1, hand seed planting tool, #2 is a locking tong for moving/lifting rails. Looks like the upper wedge piece locks the lower one in place to clamp it tight.

mongoose · 01-10-2014, 02:48 AM

#1, nail gun/staple gun you hit with a hammer.. use by a right handed person at that...

#2, an adjustable something..

GOPAPA · 01-10-2014, 08:15 PM

Am I wrong and just imagining stuff ? Was this second tool on the forum once before ,,like maybe I ask you all what it is.. It just came back to me what it is and remembered it.. No Ben,, I did not look it up either I swear (darn it) that I have seen this same tool and question of what is it before,, thats it im done.. hope someone else has had a premonition like this too..
maybe I need more snow to shovel ,sorry for the interuption ..

Your probably right Larry. I don't have a program setup to run these things. Hey, While I'm technically not a senior, I'm pretty damn close. I have "the" moment from time to time.
What really hurts is gettin called out on it from somebody older than me.

Just pullin your leg ol buddy...Your purty doggone sharp. so if you say its been on I believe you. Theres new people playing so they may of not seen it.........I'm gonna run a new game in a few days. I'll double check before I do though..............Hey P.M with what you think the answer is Larry.

67ChevyRedneck · 01-10-2014, 10:16 PM

1. Antique nail gun for hardwood flooring.

2. Industrial (ACME) sized bottle opener

boatpuller · 01-10-2014, 11:53 PM

Ol Larry's as sharp as an axe.......I did post that one before...But, I think it was in the last round a year or so ago...Oh well doesn't much matter guess anyway....I'll post up the answers and another game in a few days.

**LockDoc** · 01-10-2014, 11:56 PM

I think he's right.
#2 is too short to work train rail. I used to work on trucks for BNSF and every tool they use is at least 4' long

Sillyoldman · 01-11-2014, 11:21 AM

I actually had the opportunity to use #1 years ago. Primitive but effective.

zeldman · 01-11-2014, 02:14 PM

#2 is used for circumcisions.....

Chief Bail · 01-12-2014, 03:28 PM

I dont know but imma stay away from it. Looks Creepy

ssapach · 01-12-2014, 04:06 PM

#2 looks like an adjustable spanner wrench

I hope so. I never google these, kills the fun, and I've yet to be 100% right yet so far. Close on a few. Be nice to have one right

GOPAPA · 01-12-2014, 05:40 PM

Whats your guess on #1 ,,you said you used one before ,,take the chance ,let us know what you think it is. hurry before Ben gets back and fires me .;.lol please..

boatpuller · 01-14-2014, 10:51 PM

Awright here we go with some answers.

Number 1 is antique nail gun made by pearson manufacturing. According to the info I have it will drive up to 125 small nails in a minute mainly for shingling siding. By striking with a hammer. It sold for 5 dollars. Mongoose chimed in first with 67redneck and Leon the locdoc, 68c15 was with em and SOM said he knew. But chose to keep it under his hat...I believe him...He just didn't wanna spoil it. So, thats cool....We had 4 or 5 guys hit the nail on the head.....Get it,..."the nail on the head"

Never mind.

Number 2 was used to pull the spokes into the hole on a wagon wheel by latching on to the first spoke already in the wheel. Larry gopapa had a memory like an Elephant and remembered we had this one before. And like a true sportsman eliminated himself.....I kinda think he had used one often in his teen age days getting the wagon ready for a Saturday night of courting.

.....Dang, I'm on a roll tonite...... Sorry about the bad joke Larry...Your a standup dude for how you handled that....So, I'm gonna keep you on awhile and not fire you after all. lol

Stay tuned guys....I'll put one up in a few days.
