Now i don't have to ask anymore on this forum, what Miller Special Tools are, and used for.
Always thought i had their catalogs.
Haven't seen these in 14 years, since moving into this house.
Forgot that i had them.
Buried deep in a box, way in the back, on the storage shelving.

hemi71x Congratulations on finding your Miller catalogs.
Did you ever order any Miller tools from them back in the 20th century?

Ya, i must have.
Lots of their tools i use in the rebuilding of suspension parts, and brake parts, getting things apart, and back together again.
Thank's for your help.
Appreciate your replies.

Back in the day Miller tool company would usually send you a new catalog with each order. Unfortunately around 1990 SPX took over making Miller tools and within a couple of years they deleted most of the older tools.
 
Long story which I'll skip, but these come out of tool box from a mechanic that seems to have worked on a wide variety of equipment and creatively ,modified or made a number of tools.
The following are, as best I can tell, not creative modifications.
Here's the catch. I don't know what most of them are, so in most cases I'm not going to be able to say 'right you are.'

Two very similar

for installing this variety of hose clamp. The tail on the clamp there slips into the jaws on the tool there. The handle with the black knob tightens the strap. That piece there above the jaws has a point on it that when hit by a hammer on the appropriate top side locks the clamp to the strap.
 
#2 is missing the nylon strap that would wrap around a cylinder the feed back into the handle, then you lever handle to rotate the cylinder.

i have a really cool tool for those clamps

Ah! Yes I knew that looked familiar but couldn't place it.
last one is a tap/die wrench ....is what i would use it for
That's my guess too based on the name and the inserts. Funny that the drive is offset rather than centered. When I've had to tap where there is no room I've used a wrench or socket but its awkward.

Does it look like one of the ones above? If not. Post up a pic.
 

1a and 1b are for tightening metal banding. There is another tool made for crimping the little metal clips that secure the banding. I have prepared many pallets using those exact tools. These can also tighten the self locking band clamps but they are a little bulky for that application.
 
this is the tool for the strap clamps
not sure what the tool in the middle is for
the rachet looking thing goes in the other tool coils /pulls the clamp tight ,then you fold it over and the lever cuts it off
