In the things I bought this weekend is this metal Miter-Master, made in Minneapolis Mn. pat. pending. What is novel to me, is it was a long ago give away, or customer premium for the MoorMans livestock feed company. I worked for them a number of years. The base has screw holes, so is to be mounted to a board? I am guessing to set angle of rafters? Incorporated into it are two more tools. a dowel and drill diameter gauge, the tapered slot. There is also a marking gauge function, (Insert point into hole) marked from one inch down to 1/8 inch. Back in the days when companies gave away things as incentives. Going on the wall above my woodworking table.
Nice find . I like it. Freebies is mighty scarce these days and if you get one it probably doesn't work.
Interesting side cutters in the photo too.
I forgot to snap a pic of those by theirselves. The name on the handles is(Bernard), when I google it, all kinds of interesting pliers come up. These double jointed things are interesting, almost have a medical feel to them. Overall the length is exactly 12 inches. There is a spring in the grips, which are hollow. Small brazed repair at the first joint. The cutter end looks stainless steel, but a magnet will stick, so its not real high quality stainless. The grips look like nickel plating. Anyone have an idea on usage? Why the double jointed long look?
The Bernards are a pair of NO.195 nippers.
