Seen one of these before. Pretty sure it's a bed spanner.

Yes Scott it is solid

Hello Ian,
Were there any markings on the screwdriver? It look a bit like a Willys Jeep screwdriver.

Cheers Scott

Reminds me of a pair of pliers I had when doing my apprenticeship in 1970. Were known as "battery pliers" As they could be used for undoing the bolts on the terminals, plus spread the spring loaded ones etc.
Pliers long gone now

Haha, I should have asked Uncle Google and I could have given a positive ID!
Nah, it's just the first thing I thought of.
Wish I still had the pliers, like a lot of things that are gone from my toolbox.

Cheers

Hello all,
Rex, one of the worst moments of my life was hen I found that some scum of the earth stole my big tool box and emptied the shadow boards. The b@strd$ even stole one of those cheap red trolleys from superdupercheap  because it was all too heavy to carry or even lift.
Insurance tried to replace it but it's not the same and a lot of tools are just irreplaceable. At least they were good after I explained why I had the tools I had and could prove it. The insurance even sent a specialist tools person to assess the loss.
At least they left my Irazola screwdrivers on the wall. They took the Stanley's and left them. The Irazola's must not have been shiny enough. Incidentally, the Irazola's was one reason the insurance claim went through so smoothly. That and all the empty boxes I kept over the years.

Cheers Scott

This is the smallest pipe vice I have seen made to fit on the edge of a bench or maybe because of its size on a work vehicle
Made buy 'Footprint' a UK firm that closed dawn a few years back
