Mystery tools - "A"
Now the doobie bit to the right of yellow bit seem to fit at the bottom end of the yellow bit. And the rest of the stuff don't seem to fit on to each other at all. Should I keep/freecycle/throw?

Mystery tool - "C"
keep/freecycle/throw?
And finally, not a tool but a moth? Came home today and found this clinging on to my door screen:
Those of you with sharp eyes will note that its over 10cms (about 4 inches) in length! I would estimate the body to be about 3cms wide (1 inch). I didn't see its wing span but I would say it would be quite wide too. Anyone know what it is?

The husband knows this stuff! Top photo, L-R:
- T-handle power bar with a universal joint clipped on it (to remove rusty nuts & bolts etc. Gives you a bit more leverage)
- medium extension arm for 1/2" socket set
- long extension arm for 1/2" socket set
- spark plug socket
- short extension arm for 3/8" socket set
- tube spanner (sometimes used for spark plugs)
- Spark plug removal tool
- short extension arm for 1/2" socket set
Second photo:
- hole punch (for leather, rubber, paper, etc)
- 3 tap seating tools - the middle one is the best - a new one costs about $60
Not sure about photo 3 - looks like a modified spatula/knife.
Hope that helps.
Picture C is a cutter for lino or carpet
Hi,
Third one is a linoleum knife.

Oooh thanks all!!
Now I can see that at some point I would need the hole punch and linoleum knife for my crafting.
Not sure at all about the extension arms for socket set, or spark plug socket (ooh I felt all manly typing that out). I might freecycle those. Sockets and spark plugs are just beyond wannabe-handyperson-me at this stage. I'll concentrate on home handying (is that the term?) before I go to my car.
"Tap seating tools" - I had to google what that means! It looks like its a tool you use if the tap continues to drip even after you've changed the washer. Now I actually *do* have a tap like this. I've replaced the washer (yay me!) but its still dripping. I will need to learn how to reseat the tap now.
(this handyman journey is pretty exciting! And so many gadgets!)
Is the moth a bogong moth? I hear they're quite a feature of Canberra?
