What is it?

[markr]

Bought a lot of tools and now it's time to play what the hell is that?

#1 looks like the worlds most complex case back remover.

Definitely over engineered.

You may be right rich, morning mate. Too much room taken up on or in the bench for my liking, i have enough gadgets as it is.  A manual doer and undoer and a strong pair of hands works fine for me. Cool looking bit of kit though.

1. is a case back opener.

2. is a set of pivot drills.

I assume you mean #5, they look like some sort of movement holder set ?

A ? At first i thought some kind  of lapping wheel, thought the stud was an arbor, but no. B - a staking block ? C - homemade tool.  D- are these reaming tools ? Countersinks. E- a vice for hand broaching ?. F and  G - for turning a balance staff on its balancewheel for repivotting like a jacot.

D, look like oil well cutters ! If that's the right word for what I am thinking it is.

A. Looks like soft leather for the inside of crystals.

May not all be correct lol. Based on tools that  I've seen similar.

What would this be for ? Watch repairers make all sorts of home made tools to suit how they work some of which can only be guessed as to their use. As soon as I started repairing I was doing the same. I come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. Some work some don't

Thanks.  I think I'll keep this one.

Just trying to be funny here, but #3 looks like the end of an old wooden crutch that was cut down and threaded at the top =D

Good examples of overengineered and under-engineered. 

Love seeing cool tools and figuring out what they are used for. Thanks for sharing, Mark!
