  4. 2108. In a laboratory environment, it would be called a Cold Finger. The device is a drink dispenser and ice would be put inside the inner tube.

  5. Darn - I agree with all of the first 4 - though I'm not completely sure of 2111 being drip-rails-specific.

    2112-bandsaw tension meter. the bandsaw blade is clamped in the end with the thumbscrew, the handle is pulled until the blade deflects a predetermined distance, usually 1/16" and the scale indicates in pounds how much force it took to deflect the blade.
