Big old heavy thingamajig

[Bill M]

Hi, I'm new here so I'd like to say hello, my name is Bill and I need mental help here. I found this thing around 40 years ago in Brooklyn NY, I picked it up because it was a big old heavy piece of metal, and I took it home because that's the type of thing I did when I was 10.

I've always wondered what it was, and upon the invention of the internet started doing searches every once in a while to see if I could find one like it with a name or purpose attached. This is getting to be a 'bucket list' type of thing here, so I figured I'd stop by and ask you fellas "What in Gods Name is this thing and what is it used for? Railroad? Sewer? Farming?
Regards,
Bill

Pipe reamer?

very serious EZ out??

Lemon Juicer?

Welcome Bill

Welcome to the forums.   Some dimensions on that would help, but it would appear to be a hand reamer for building construction (like clearing holes before riveting, etc.)

[Bill M]

Thanks so much, gentlemen.
It's about 13 - 14 inches, weighs about 3 pounds.
I'll go do some more searching, now that I've something to go on!!

No luck so far, searches with hand and pipe reamer, vintage or otherwise - don't give anything close. Tomorrow's another day. Nite!

Internal pipe wrench?

Internal pipe wrench?

How about to remove broken pipes? looks like it was hammered on to drive it into something.

[oldgoaly]

sure looks like it is made for hammering into ?  the broken pipe or a short nipple. the diameter part that would go into  the pipe?  need better pic and the size. Would they have few of these to make a set?
Boilers, radiators, etc

[turnnut]

 it does look like a ezee out for broken pipes,  whatis the lettering on it ???  (old eyes are not focusing today )

Hello, It's hard to read it when it is upside down!!!  ????? APPLIED FOR  Regards, Lou

I do like the broken pipe EZ-out idea, but if that were it, wouldn't the tapered end piece have a left-hand twist to it?

[oldgoaly]

a better pic of the end would help.
how about a tool that flares the end of a boiler tube to hold it til it's welded? and another tool finishes it off?

[Chillylulu]

That would only make pipe up.

I'm guessing its a bung wrench.

I'm going to try to get more pics but I have to shrink them because this forum doesn't tolerate the size pictures I have. Hang on a few, thanks for the replies. Bill
