What is This Tool?
« on: December 21, 2022, 01:30:16 pm »
I found a pile of these things in a box that also had radio equipment, wires and antenna stuff. I don't know if these tools are related.

There are a bunch of different sizes, some really large, but otherwise, they all look exactly the same design.

Thanks!

It is a hole punch. For making holes in soft materials - like leather, paper, card etc..

Yup, looks like a hole punch to me too.

And, the part that gets punched out comes out of the slot on the side.
Printing looks like the sizes are metric, and "made in Ostria" ?

This makes sense. There were a lot of obvious leather-working tools around too.

Yeah, it says:

2m/m
Made in
Austria

They wrote mm like this "m/m". So, "2m/m".

Also, a lot of the tools I am finding in this workshop are made in Germany, Switzerland, England, USA. Amazing good quality stuff.
These tools must have cost a fortune, because this is in Brazil.

Thanks guys!

vidarr, my dad had several of these hole punchers in various sizes. They were also made either in Austria or Germany and had exceptional quality - they were all inherited from my grandfather and both lived in Brasil.

Unfortunately with my dad's passing (and both my brother and I living away from Brasil, so we couldn't keep track), my mom gave a bunch of his tools away and I suspect these were part of the bunch.  :'(

Oh, the "whys" of the datasheets... The information is there not to be an axiomatic truth, but instead each speck of data must be slowly inhaled while carefully performing a deep search inside oneself to find the true metaphysical sense...
