I believe it's a device for peeling and coring apples simultaneously?

Correct - apple peeler, slicer and corer. I'm slightly disappointed, though, as I thought that I would slip one in for the ladies this time..

its a pipe flaring tool, used to make the end of nurmally copper tube larger, thus allowing another tube end to be fitted in and soldered if memory serves me correctly (been a long time since i did my pipe fitting apprenticship)

 

[Gramaisc]

A point each to you and rikki. I thought that that would be a difficult one. I picked one up, with a set of mandrels, at the boot sale a few years ago...

Your tool fetish is more an addiction ?

Note the word Virax on the side. Company is now Virax Stanley and they have an online catalogue!

 

[Gramaisc]

I've used this a few times just lately - actual size a little over an inch in either direction.

Tyre valve tool

 

[Gramaisc]

Indeed - reforms internal and external threads, inserts and removes valve cores - and the left-handed taper thread gives you a good chance of getting a broken valve core out.

I used my Eclipse No 55 hacksaw today, on the steel cladding roof job - a hacksaw that is capable of making continuous cuts in sheet metal, as the 'frame' is in the form of a stiff sheet which is narrower than the kerf of the blade.

Kerf, great word.
