Got a few of these in a box of parts and can't identify them. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

let's talk about the one on the right/bottom. Does the threaded end move independently of the main part? Maybe you can stick a bolt/handle in the threaded hole on the side, crew the bottom into a drill in place of a chuck, and use it as a cut-off tool/angle grinder.

It is threaded at the 1 3/4" mark and also at the 4" mark.

Those are left handed fristle nodneks. They are used to adjust the radio signals from the mother ship into your homes vacuum cleaner, then through an iterpreter box straight to your mind. Havent seen one in many years....

Ok, I dont know either...

The yellow thing with the numbers and lines is a tape measure made by Stanley.
No clue about the other items.

Right/bottom, pressure regulator?

**old Rusty C10** · 01-18-2014, 09:30 PM

those are the things you keep in the console of your truck and when someone cuts you off or tailgates you you hurl it out the window at them

**too much stuff** · 01-18-2014, 10:00 PM

Lots of good guesses so far. I just hate to throw them out without knowing if they could be worth something.

Ca90ss, you may be onto something. The center does move like a mechanical regulator of some sort.

After reading your reply I checked your location, just as I suspected...

Just a guess, but I think they might be mandrel's for clearing electrical conduit.

There was a couple other electrical parts in the box.

Does this help? The center pin moves about an inch in the bigger one.

boatpuller · 01-21-2014, 07:06 PM

The bigger one on the left I believe is some kind of regulator/ Pressure relief.
Does the second smaller one adjust with the Knob end ? I was thinking that center pin might adjust up against a wire or line that runs thru the hole ? Like a line clamp...Kinda hard to follow my thoughts in type. I can't type what i wanna say if that maked any sense.

I think I would have to agree on the pressure relief valve. Adjustable maybe, since it appears to have a knurled knob on top.

I was thinking some kind of float on the black piece but it doesn't look like it would seal very well. Plus the "oil daily" would indicate that it's off of a piece of machinery of some type... Dunno.

boatpuller · 01-21-2014, 10:18 PM

Good eye Leon. I didn't see the oil daily probably a industrial application that ran daily. I think you unscrew the cap and oil goes in there. The other end is threaded for a small oil line.
