My wife's uncle passed away and her aunt gave me a lot of tools he had in his stash. In the bunch were some I hadn't seen before but I've figured out all but one item. The one on the far left. Does anybody know what this is used for? The nut slides up and down on it

Thanks

A reamer! I haven't seen any that weren't tapered. Do you have any idea what it is designed to ream? Thanks

I have seen lots of old reamers that had no taper.
Pipe possibly.
Does it have what looks like cutting ridges in it, and maybe shorter surfaces that could be for a guide of sorts?
Those tools have a kind of plumbing look to them.
 
I believe it's a screw extractor,, drill a hole in a broken bolt, and tap that thing in,, I have a whole set somewhere,, Mac Tool, or Snap-on I think.. I'll look tommorrow..

Yeah it has cutting ridges. What threw me is how it's not tapered. Since he worked on boilers you might be right.

I was wondering about that too. Until Greg said a reamer my only thought was it might be used like you say
 
Looks pretty darn big for a screw extractor, but I have seen those with that same design.
In the pic I get the impression and it's about 3/8 or so on the shaft?
 
I was thinking valve guide reamer,with a stop for valve guide length.
 
It also just occured to me that reamers usually cut turning clockwise, and an extractor would tend to cut counterclockwise.
Which is it?
 
looks like a bushing reamer to me...check the flute areas for small fine pieces of brass or oil impregnated bronze
 
That is a tool to modify the "flux capacitor" so it will back further than 1955.....and not have to run on trash in the future :glasses7:
 
Here's a set I forgot I had, for 3 decades lol.. note the guides for the drill bits..

Snap-on,

hope it helps

The one on the left is a easy out. The one next to it is a tap extractor. The rest look to be extensions. tmm

That sleeve moves free and no way to secure it. Looks to me like it's just used to put a wrench on it to turn it

It's designed to cut counter clockwise

Bet you didn't know I have a big supply of NOS flux capacitors stashed in the basement. Problem with them is they absorb moisture over time and become unstable. Had one blow up once. Took a whole wall out of the garage. Should have seen my shirt. Looked just like you see in the cartoons. Ears rang for a week. Wife wasn't too happy so I stashed them for another day
