Modern Vespa

That's what I thought it was.

How about this? Yes, I know the main part of the pic is a screwdriver. But, what is that thing attached to it?

That sounds like the ticket

The only thing I could think that could be used for is to clean up the end of a piece of tubing before flaring it.

Clean up tubing, yes. Flaring, no. Specific kind of tubing.

An often successful search method when others fail. I use it a LOT. A lot more when I was still allowed to post a picture w/o text.

How do you search you tube with a picture??

I"m guessing for plastic air and water lines that use compression fittings.

for cleaning up electrical conduit after you cut it. No burrs on insde to cut the wires.

I love this thread...I've read every page

surprised how many I knew, and learned a bunch form the others.

This kind of old school knowledge is being lost rather quickly. Kids today have zero interest in tools or fixing stuff themselves.

There ya go! For deburring electrical metallic tubing, AKA thinwall conduit.

The next one (probably my last for a while) is more of a tool accessory than a tool itself.

What are these?

Framing square stops. I used to use those all the time building stairs for theatre sets.

And there you have it

Alright folks, let's see what you've got.

This is a useful device in the theatre world:

A pipe clamp to hold melons lol

It keeps Jim Carrey from moving around too much?

It holds up a light.

I forget the exact name, but it's a piece of lighting hardware that can be installed on a stage "electric" pipe to allow adjacent flying scenery to slide smoothly by without snagging on the lighting fixtures.

A couple of these saved my ass on a stage set I designed a year or so ago.

That right. It's called a scenery bumper.

This one is actually for scooters.

Don't know that one, but here's another:

Now you're just blowing smoke up our ass!

Ok, Ok - back to Patrick's teaser then.

Is that a slight radius I see on the large 'flat' piece? Could it be a seal driver? And the piece at the end could stop the seal from going too far?

Back in the day I used to spend a lot of time in the National Library of Medicine at NIH in Bethesda, Md. They had displays in the foyer of old medical instruments. This reminds me of something to inflate something we normal don't think of as inflatable, like the bladder. Most of the things I saw there I wouldn't want applied to me. (The War Of Northern Aggression battlefield kits were pretty gruesome. Mostly saws.)
