2107 Car storage tray, plugs in to a hitch. Often seen with a electric wheel chair, coolers, dead deer.... 2108 In the Hersey's Kiss commercial the inner tube dispenses the caramel, the larger outer the chocolate. What this one does I have no idea. 8>) 2109 Bellow / air pump? 2110 ream of some sort? Barn mounted on a pole / post? 2111 pipe clamp for working on water pipes. 2112 torques'esq device. maybe to check t> I need some help with the last item in this set:

"Rob H." fired this volley in news: [e-mail]:

2108 a wine cooler/dispenser, with the center container carrying ice 2109 a golf ball "shag bag" ball picker-upper 2110 looks to me like a semi-manual vegetable/fruit peeler 2111 looks to me like a spring tensioner or belt tensioner

got my numbers off by one 2112... skipped the pliers/wrench LS

[Rob H.]

These are both correct.

[Rob H.]

That's not it.

I thinking along these lines, some type of tension gauge, I don't think it's a scale because if you held it while weighing something then the numbers on it would be upside down. Seems like it was made to be used by pulling on something horizontally.

Indeed...looks like manual tension gauge. The connection was for a relatively small piece w/ either a hook formed for the thumbscrew to go into or a ridge or similar one would presume. Otherwise, doesn't look like would hold too well on just a flat (unless the spring isn't as stout as it looks and the scale isn't pounds--altho thinking, 25 lbs at full stroke wouldn't be _that_ much)...

Well made device; definitely a serious purpose but I'm at a loss as to for what, specifically...

2107: Could be used for planting seeds (by hand), avoiding confusion about adequate spacing?

2107 Carrier for rear of truck or van... extended tube so something can be mounted closer to vehicle first.

2108 Wine decanter, server ice goes in the middle, can be used for any drink though.

2109 Golf ball picker upper. used for practice in an open field.

2110 Corer of some sort.

2111 Crimper

2112 can be used as a tension scale to pull on something and test for breakage, or weight scale for smaller items like fish.

[kapitaen]

a really silly guess from germany...

2107 ... you have posted the answer yourself, directly at the right side ;) it is a positioning helper for thumbnails on a html page. (no, not a single idea what it is)

2108 to serve wine

2110 to form springs?

2112 a simple weigh (Waage), or maybee a torque measurement unit (Drehmomentanzeige)

[George W Frost]

2111: crimping pliers for rounding metal edges for guttering or car doors, pots, pans etc.

[Rob H.]

Correct, they are beading pliers for automobiles.

2010 might be a, hell, I don't know the name for it, and scoreboard doesn't sound right - it's a rack that holds race position numbers during a race. There was a similar one for sailing on the race director's boat on the bay where I grew up. R

2107) Looks like the reinforced backing for a medium size highway sign. The backing is needed to keep it from bending in a strong wind. 2108) I don't see the fittings which I would expect, but this looks like some form of condenser -- with the outer jacket containing chilled water and the inner condensing vapor on the inside and dripping down into some kind of receptacle. 2109) Perhaps designed to dispense some kind of gooey substance, glue -- caulking compound, or something similar.

If it were smaller, I would suggest for applying decorative icing to a cake.

*or* -- it could be a filter cartridge for something like a swimming pool. 2110) Perhaps for winding a spiral spring? 2111) Looks like it is intended for pulling nails or staples. 2112) Lubricator for dispensing a known amount of (oil or grease) to a machine tool..

Now to see what others have suggested.

Enjoy, DoN.

2112 trigger pull gauge

[Paul Hovnanian P.E.]

It appears to be. The clamp on the end suggests that it is intended for some specific application.

I'm guessing it is used to set the pre-load on something. Clamp this gadget to the object, pull on the handle until the pointer reads the proper load, then clamp the object down. Question is: What is 'the object'?

[Rob H.]

Good guess! It's for making bed springs. Still not sure about the tension gauge but the rest of the answers for this week can be seen here:
