Here is the ninth post in the series. As usual, I will try to answer questions about their composition, size and how they can move. Pictures are provide via dropbox.

POST09_TOOL33
This metal tool is 9 inches long. It has a spring to keep it in the open position. One jaw has a metal stop and slot. The other jaw has a tab that fits through the slot. The fit is close at the front of the slot but with a tab's width of clearance at the back. The handles are covered in a rubbery red plastic.

POST09_TOOL34
This is a metal and plastic tool approximately 17 inches long. It is a long metal bolt attached to a plastic and metal end. If you had it to experiment with, you would quickly determine its use.

POST09_TOOL35
This is a metal tool approximately 6 inches long. It has an expansion spring with the rest position open. The jaws have threaded holes with a 1/4 inch diameter. When I got the tool only one of them had a fitting in it. The fitting has a concave metal surface approximately 1/2 inch in diameter and a plastic outer covering. The companion fitting would have a similar diameter but a different face.

POST09_TOOL36
This tool is a metal tool approximately 7 inches long. The handles are covered with plastic. When you close the handles you open the jaws. There is a set screw with a set nut to control how wide the jaws open when the handles are closed. They can range from 0 to 1 inch.

This is a metal tool approximately 8 inches long. The handle is a metal tube but covered in red rubbery plastic.

I do not know what this tool is. My first thought on seeing it was that it is a novelty Giant Bottle Opener but it is overdesigned as it is a strong steel tool with a good quality grip/cover. It could obviously be used to pry off covers (perhaps off of buckets) but the dimensions are not like other examples I've found.

A new suggestion is that is used to reseal metal lids on buckets.

A nine inch long metal tool in the adjustable vice grip family. When closed, the jaws form a rounded square with two small semicircular dips on opposite sides. A second opening in the shape of a rectangular slot is also formed.

These vice grips

have been altered by welding two pieces to the jaws. They are similar to Vice Grips for crimping brass ferrules --

This tool is metal and it is approximately twelve inches long. The pinching ends are shaped like small spoons. When closed, there is still some ability to apply additional pressure but it is not too great as the handles have some give and there is no mechanical advantage.
This is likely a forceps. It looks like the antique Urology Foceps here
http://antiquescientifica.com/urology_forceps_lithotomy_Tiemann.jpg
but it lacks the barbs and is not of good quality stainless steel or nickel.
It may be a pair of chemistry forceps.
