A pile of miscalaneous tools came my way. A couple of them are oddballs. Can anyone ID them for me?

The first one is a wrench to use on plumbing fixtures where you can't reach with a normal wrench. For instance where water is attached to the faucet of a bathroom sink.

I know what they are, and I have used both tools!

As for the flare tool...there is usually another piece with it to hold the brass, steel tubing while you tighten down the point to make the flare.

It's Called a Basin wrench.    I bought one just to replace my kitchen faucet and yes , works good on bathroom faucets too.   Though it's Hard on the back while using it..:unsure:

That flaring tool may be of better quality that anything available today. Imperial Brass was founded in 1905.

Get the other part of the flaring tool and keep it, that's a good quality one.  I've used those many, many times!

Yep, I inherited both and have used both. With a knee shot, and a back in not much better shape, I now use this instead: Paul's Plumbing, Pace Fl:handgestures-thumbupright:.
