What are these old plumbers tools ?

We used the bent bolt to straighten short lengths of lead pipeing , a yarn/lead caulking tool was used to open the pipe when wiping branch joints as it was easily managed unlike the bent bolt (heavy) , how did you manage to get a nice neat 'uniform' branch joint without the used of a scribing plate and compass.? ;)

Good to see Geewizz being an a**e again

Seems you've done that all by yourself by not knowing what a scribing plate was used for , did you ever wipe any joints DIA? (don't answer that ) :LOL:

Great thread!! I wiped plenty ball joints as an apprentice, one on the bench & one under the bench.

OMG!! What a skilled trade I joined in the early 70s. Look at us now? Full of unskilled morons that have trained for a few week & can just manage to push a few plastic pipes together, but only just!!

OP it was a serious offer & it is only on the table for 2 days.
 
Yes it was a skilled trade (shame :cry: ) , always used a clamp when wipeing a underhand/overhand/taft etc , although very difficult using a pipe clamp when rolling a joint across the bench , each time the clamp came around it would knock the fustion cloth out yer hand and fall off the pipe. :LOL: :LOL:

Ok, what was the name of the little doobrie we used to hold a brass spigot in the end of a lead pipe while it was being soldered?
Two teethy bits expanded and it pulled the spigot/valve or whatever, in.

Can't remember it. It's on the tip of me moleskin.

That's great mate, if you can prove you're leggit & the owner of the tools, then send me a PM with your email addy & I'll get back to you. I'm working the holiday weekend. So it'll be a couple of days OK.
