  3. 1435 -- volt meter for insulated cable -- the hammer is used to hit the probe, the pins at the end pierce cable insulation, then voltage measurments can be taken.

    1437 -- musket tool, screwdriver, wrench, vent prick, & worm


    1439 -- don't know, except for the screwdriver part, it looks like it might be handy for installing carpets

    1440 -- gun trigger lock

    Is this answer for 1431? If so, what type of pump does it fit? I did some searching but didn't find an obvious match for it.
