Old Tools Identification?

[Tam]

Bought some spares yesterday but in with them came a couple of things i've never seen before so thought i'd ask you guys

First couple were fairly obvious -

Not sure about these though -

First one looks like a remote starter. 1 connection to batt +, 1 to the coil and 1 to the starter solenoid and you can start the engine from under the bonnet. I'm guessing it has a push button on the end? Very handy if you're fiddling about and having to keep starting and stopping the engine all the time and it saves you getting in and out of the car and making a mess.
The second thing looks like part of a brake pipe flaring tool. Not sure about the last one though.

Could be a chain link remover

I've got the exact same Sykes-Pickavant tool in my stash but it's meant to have a sandwiched plate with a selection of different diameter holes to go with it..

Yes, 1st one is definitely a remote starter. Just connect it up as per the little diagram and it is very handy for diagnosing things like starting problems where you need to crank the engine while fiddling about under the bonnet (and for some strange reason your Missus refuses to come out in the rain to sit in the car and turn the key every time you shout, "start" ). I ended up making a remote starter switch using an old switch from a standard lamp and some old bits of mains wire.

I'll put my money on the second one being a pipe flaring tool. As already said, not much use without the dies though .

Last one's got me stumped. Maybe if you open the packet and see what the instructions say, the mystery shall be revealed? Being an Engineer by trade (& a bloke), reading instructions is usually the last resort but sometimes it helps .

First one is definitely a remote crank and/or start switch. I had one in my cabinet back when
I was in the trade, but it was home made and didn't have the ignition on option.
Second looks to be an incomplete flaring tool as said, funnily, I have the other half at home.
Last one looks to be some sort of adapter kit to fit/connect a test set-up of some sort to
a car/engine. Probably type and model specific.

Nice find there, I am a sucker for old tools..... Jealous!!

strobe for timing

tube flaring tool ( not complete)
battery test adapter as far as I can recall. ( looking back over 35 years so bit hazy here) again not complete.
