The "cable puller" is actually called a "grip" that is used primarily for steel cable. My experience in using these is for telephone pole aerial rigging, which includes setting guy anchors. It is very effective and is regularly connected to heavy-duty winches to set the tension on aerial cable installations. The "Yankee Screwdriver" is actually just a drill (non-reversible) and standard issue from the telephone company linemans' toolkit. The "scissor screwdriver" is a straight-slotted screw holder that holds the screw at the tip when you need to thread the screw into a hard-to-reach hole.

The Quick Wedge was not used for 'working' at all. Used only for holding the screw until you got the screw started in its mating threads. Then you would use a standard flat blade to do the work of tightening. Also handy for retrieving a screw in a hard to reach place after it was loosened.

When I'd wear a hole in the knees of my denim Levis , Mom had an old worn-out pair of Levis that she'd use to cut a repair patch from (usually the back of the leggings which didn't receive much wear) , she'd then carefully "rip" the seams on the trouser legs so the material would lay flat so she could stitch on the repair patch (this was before Free-Arm Sewing Machines & Sergers became popular) .

[@prdoohan]

As a fence wire puller it may be OK as one for barbed wire but it would be no good for no8 or high tensile. The teeth would create weak points. Also if it was for high tension fences it would have a handle with come along Jaws and a second clamp with chain. Coming from a kiwi, we know a thing or two about keeping sheep in....

The screwdriver with the sliding sheath is an electricians screwdriver, it is made to hold the green grounding screw, or any screw for that matter installed into a recessed metal outlet/switch/junction box. Place the screw at the end of the dual straight blades, push the sheath towards the screw so that the blades grow fatter and hold the screw on their own, then hands free to install the screw into the electrical junction box, usually one with a plaster ring attached to it. Plaster rings make it way harder to put ground screws in or mc clips in.

As far as the Yankee drill is concerned, you will not find a directional control, because that 1 is strictly a drill and not a screwdriver. If it was a Yankee screwdriver, you would see the crossing spiral grooves on the shaft. With the Yankee drill all of the workings are internal. The split tip screwdriver is used for starting screws in tight locations, the two blades wedge into the screw slot to hold it on the tip of the starter-driver. They have since been replaced by magnetic tips.

[@jescocom1]

The Quick-Wedge is what we (I'm a union electrician by trade) call a 'hold-it screwdriver'. It's for slotted screws. With the collar against the handle, you put the tip in the screw slot, then slide the collar away from the handle. The blades cam against each one another to effectively become thicker, wedging themselves into the slot and holding the screw securely. A lot of terminal block screws are non-ferrous, so magnets won't work. It allows you to expediently start the screws back in a box or motor starter or whatever, I have them in all manner of lengths and sizes. They're damn handy for certain automotive/equipment applications, too.

Difference between scissors and shears as told by my mum, shears were used to cut the wool off sheep and other long haired animals before the time of electrics shears which came into use round about the 1920's or 30's. But of a similar design than those you showed, those were shears used by tailors for cutting cloth usually around 6 to 8 pieces at once, you made the first cut like a scissor then opened them slightly before pushing them along the chucked line slicing through the cloth cleanly and smoothly. (the reason why they we're fastened with a nut and bolt was so they could be separated for sharpening). Sissons are for use in a household for cutting paper, small pieces of cloth, string, even fat off bacon and other meats such as steaks etc, but nowadays kitchen secateurs tend to be used for that.

Mils are not common in everyday use due to the size of the measurement, but are used for fine tolerances in Engineering and Manufacturing when parts are not defined in Metric units.

[@calvinh.8882]

I'm from the U.S., and i believe very tedious and precise work the metric system is the best, But for just regular get it close enough to fit, any system works fine..

The cooping saw on the older one is made of good steel, the way it springs back when you tighten it is the self tensioning.

That’s a yanks drill that for 100 years all telephone installers would use to make pilot holes for putting wood screws in hold in jacks or brackets.

[@markmastrangelo770]

Don't know if anyone got this yet but the metal square at 14:15 is for scoring a straight line on a pane of glass for cutting/breaking.

[@denko83x]

it's called a gimlet

*Zip-Lock bag, cuts it open* I love this channel.

The two knives at the 23:00 mark are leather working tools. The light handled one is a "straight trim knife". Dark handled is a "square point shoe knife". Both are used for cutting & skiving.

[@michaeldougfir9807]

NOTE TO EVERYONE! Hey, would someone send Cody a thin "feather file"? Then he could sharpen his TRI EDGE saws, whether they are the Katana Big Boy, or other similar saws. Also good for standard carpentry saws. Remember to include a small wire brush for cleaning the file. I can't do this, but I bet someone out there can. Thanks.

The screwdriver with the split blade and the slide is for holding screws. You put it into the slot of the screw and push the sleeve forward the two blades would wedge into the screw and hold it tight. You can reach inside something and put a screw in or use it to hold the screw while you hold something in place. The push drill as we always called it was used by the phone company for drilling holes to mount equipment. Only runs back and forth, those bits are just drill bits. Those large scissors are for cutting material off of bolts of fabric. The lady would measure out however many yards of material that the customer wanted and hold the edge up and snip the edge of the material. Then she would cut along an edge or through a groove in the counter top. It dropped the blade of the scissors right down to the level of the material. It kept the material from bunching up and cutting a jagged edge on the customers fabric. That cone you talked about earlier is for what you said. But, if you had something like strawberries you would line the inside of the cone with the holes with cheese cloth. Otherwise, you still got seeds in your jelly or jam. Preserves didn't matter much because people seemed to like having the seeds in there. The small drill bits are for a brace and bit set. They also made extentions for the bits, that way if you had a deep hole to drill, you could make the bit reach the depth you wanted. The cable/wire puller can be used on just about everything. It was used for tentioning wire or cable most of the time. It's a lot easier to use that to grab the cable or wire instead of trying to hold it with your hands. You could use a come along or block and tackle tied off to a vehicle. Hope this helps. Rob

I love your content! You have inspired me to go to more garage sales and antique shops, and because of that i have gotten a lot of antique and even new tools. Thanks for the great family friendly content! And for the inspiration! God bless! P.S the third item is a jewelers saw, not a coping saw🙂

[@dancronin22]

Oh - I had forgotten about the jeweller's saws.. I was going to say it might be a fret saw, used by stringed instrument makers.

[@magurgle]

The grey "plunger" is for layout of lines on wood. I use mine to layout the center line making wood stocks. The end of the "plunger" has a sharp disc that will cut into the wood a bit

[@nyjohn12]

The mouth to mouth barrier should be used on everyone, not just questionable people. If CPR is done wrong and air is blown into the stomach - there is a good chance that the victim will vomit into your mouth. That's why these barriers were invented.

[@duanechaney5465]

The BadLuckBear This is true for adults, but not for the pediatric population.

[@jorda.2412]

I'd say the popularity of a cpr dam was in the aids/ hep epidemic 80-90s....but apparently that wouldn't fly today as AIDS isn't more than a cold in commiefornia... probably hurt somebody's feels there...oh well

[@duanechaney5465]

The BadLuckBear Their metabolism requires more oxygen. And their lung capacity is not as large as an adult. Therefore, breaths are required for our little ones.

[@joeh4295]

The BadLuckBear adults have more disolved O2 in the blood because of the increased volume. When someone stops compressions on an adult, it takes longer to reach maximum pump pressure when compressions are restarted.

[@MrPhillipHBrown]

The Cam action "Cable / Rope Puller" as you described it is used to tension fence wire and barbed wire in conjunction with a cum-along or light block and tackle.

[@grasshopper2522]

I believe the knife is for chip carving

[@tummytub1161]

The wooden scribe marker is actually something special. It was manufactured by the Nooitgedagt company ( makers mark J.N.IJ.) located in IJlst the Netherlands. Its the standard hand tool to any Dutch woodworker. It's made of Beech wood. The side with the butterfly nut is for holding a pencil and the other side you can put in a nail or other sharp object to scribe with, preferably a one sided sharpened nail. As far as I know it wasn't available in the USA. I wonder how it ended up in the USA and your hands.

[@alexwithanova7886]

Its a AMMO CAN. NOT A ARMY BOX

[@kylew9908]

Or a set of portable speakers not yet built

[@fryguy2220]

the wooden device is a marking gauge, a pencil goes in the hole. The aluminum depth tool is actually a tenon marking gauge, with the brass disc that leaves a fine cut in the wood.

In Saskatchewan where I live, it’s very farm based so we have an museum about the old tractors and trucks they used, some of this stuff you get looks like it belongs there, really cool!

[@av3594]

Anyone else yelling "push drill!" ?

[@rickwburkett]

The Quick Wedge is a great tool for working on cars and in tight areas where you need to get a screw started and can't get your hand in there. You put a straight headed screw in it and slid the adjuster forward to grip it. We used to use them to change points and condensers in old ignition systems and on motor cycles. You could not really start screws in (like into wood, even with a pilot hole) if you had to apply a lot of pressure to it. You can also use them to extract. If found it best to break screws free and finish tightening with a standard screw driver and using the the Quick Wedge type screw drivers for the final removal and starting of screws.

[@Joe0898]

Yes, mail video!

[@CaseyHarrisSr]

Thank You Cody and David for the tools and the stories now and in the past.

[@adubbelde1]

It's a screwdriver to hold a flat head screw for starting the screw. I still have one

[@Craneman4100w]

The fourth device ( at 4:40) is a cable puller. I have a set of 3 that range from 1/4" up to 1 1/2". We use them all the time when changing wire ropes on cranes.

[@grasshopper2522]

On the wooden marking gauge , put a pencil in the hole

[@timbroderick3831]

grass hopper or put an awl in the hole & scribe a circle.
