Stuff from Whittier Bicycle Swap Meet, May 12, 2018 (Saturday) -- part 1 of 2

This plastic tool is a combination spoke wrench, tire lever.  This spoke wrench is the right size for the wheels on my main bicycle but would not be strong enough to turn the nipple.  The spoke & nipple are made of different metals and they corrode at the interface.  It takes a stout metal version (made by Park tools) to even try to rotate the nipple.  Most likely, the nipple will break from the force & it will have to be drilled out...  The people at Mavic were not thinking about long term durability or corrosion, it seems when they designed the wheel.

Ratcheting Wrench, Electrically Insulated Wrench & Rasp-like Tool (after cleaning)

I recognize this logo as for BOSCH but I'm not sure...

This type of insulated wrench is usually for very high voltage use (like on hybrid or electric cars with 500 or more Volt systems)

The rasp-like teeth on this tool looks like it can do a lot of damage to soft materials.

Old Proto wrenches, Plomb 3/8" extension & Large 1/" Plomb "breaker bar" -- Before & After Cleaning

Old 3/8" ratchet, Interesting Awl & Proto-Plomb transition wrench -- Before & After Cleaning

Before Cleaning

After Cleaning -- Not a dramatic difference

The brand name logo has been worn to the point that I can't read it...

The round "knob" is pushed up/down to change the ratchet direction.  Pretty unusual design...

Interesting Warning...

This is a "transition" Plomb wrench, as they were in the process of changing the company name to Proto (late 1950s).  Still using the old Plomb script...

Installed New Bar "Tape" on the Cinelli bar with Gipimme brake levers (for the Faggin bike) -- It's ready to be installed on the bike

This is the rear wheel that came with the Colnago Superissimo that I bought earlier this year.  The quick release was severely bent.  Had to bend it straight with a hammer to get it off.  This is just a spare wheel now (has Shimano 600 series hub, gears & skewer).
