Mystery tools

Post by kartoffelngeist »

Hi,

I've been trying to tidy through my workshop and keep finding things which I've never come across and have no idea what they are for!

I realise it's probably a total newb question, but does anyone know what these are?

I'm not sure, but they look friendly enough.

They look like the tools my Dad used to use back in the day for snapping tiles in half once they had been scored with a diamond tip scriber, with the advance of tile cutting machines they were pushed to the back of the workshop never to be seen again :(
