Anyone identify these two
These are probably not got much to do with wood, but maybe someone here will know what they are. We found these two items when cleaning out my father-in-laws shed. Anyone know what they are.
cheers

One on the right is chain tie down truckies use them or repair industry
The other I recall seeing with a round punch set up for doing break linings but not with the type of heads it has could be that they should be the same direction this could make it a nibbler or metal forming tool

Yep Rays on the money with the chain puller the other may even be some sort of home made chain cutter, top or bottom jaw may be facing the wrong way. What did the old boy do?

He was a driver for Telstra.
Thanks for the id on the chain puller. Anyone want it, or should I just chuck it out ?
I'm quite intriqued by the punch/press thingee and think I could make something useful out of that.
cheers

Another name for the "chain puller" is "load binder." With the chain almost tight, flipping it goes over-center to lock position. Very much like vise-grip pliers, but bigger. Google is your friend.
"Just chuck it out?" Are you kidding? No way.

You are right and wrong on the chain puller. It is a fence or wire strainer what is missing is a chain with 2 inter locking hooks that grip the wire then it pulls the chain which strains the wire. So I supose you are right that bit is a chain puller. (no good in the little room)

The first one I think is a Roof tile cutter. The other is called a Dog they are used with chain to secure a load, (They are normaly called Dog and chains) I used them for many years in the transport industry.
Cheers Warren.

Some fencing wire strainers are similar in principle , and yes the hook system is different.
There are also Clamp Strainers
But I reckon that the ones in the photo up top are chain pullers for cargo loads

Roof tile cutter sounds likely
The size and shape is about right for cutting roof tiles - and I found this which looks like the modern version
Roof Tile Cutters at Kwik Split
His house had a concrete tile roof and he did build an extension on it himself - many years ago - about the time most roofers were upgrading to electric saws, so he probably borrowed this and never gave it back.
cheers and thanks for the help

Got a load of timber for a raised garden bed delivered 3.6 200x50s, load was secured with those thick webbing straps when the driver threw them over his remaining load was trying to be helpful and straightened out his straps he told me that any twist in straps incurs $70 penalty and thats for every twist not the whole load.Dont make things easy for truckies do they?.

Huh
Is the penalty for adding a twist or removing a twist? A couple twists are actually beneficial, because they reduce flutter and vibration, thus extending fatigue life of the straps. If the regulations prohibit twists, they need to be revised to conform with aerodynamic research and common sense.
Many auto antenna masts, as well as most tall metal chimneys and such, now have helical strakes for the same reason.

Thanks for all the help guys. As usual, this site comes good.
Anyone want the chain pullers (freebie) let me know. I'll modify the roof tile cutter to make a quick-action timber cutter or punch.
cheers
