    What is it?

    Not Land Rover related but I'm sure someone out there can throw some light on what this old device is called and what it is used for. It appears to be some sort of ratchet operated clamping device, maybe floor boards? I picked it up while helping a friend clean out his deceased parent's house and sheds, thought it looked interesting and shouldn't just be discarded.

    Very limited movement that's why I suspected floor board clamp also. Pretty heavy duty unit though.

    OK so that's sorted out the floor clamp now here's a few unusual spanners I recovered from the same clean out. Maybe someone knows what some of them were specifically designed for.

    This one really has me puzzled - looks like some sort of a gauge but really I haven't got a clue.

    G'day , as a young plumber working on sites , I can remember the chippie's using this sort of clamp . Tung and groove boars were common back then . The clamps not only pushed the boards together, They also stopped them being damaged . Try taking a few floor boards that are tung and groove up . That's an art in itself without damaging them so they can go back !!.. Jim

    This last one seems to some sort of riviting tool but I can't see how you would get the job to where the sliding pin is. Then again I may be completely wrong.

    Bottom spanner picture are bike spanners hooked end is to undo or tighten lock nut that holds in crank bearing collars for peddle arm spindle
    one nut either side of frame
    Used to love pulling my bike apart and reasembling during school holidays
    spanners came with bike and from memory there was two or three
    Spanner made out of pressed metal in picture before is also part of the set
    With these spanner sets the whole bike could be disassembled except spokes
    Even bikes had special tool number..........for spokes

    Cheers Paul
