B.
2893 - tire iron
ReplyDelete2896- Kill switch for spark plug. Clips to hex and grounds wire when flipped.
ReplyDelete2896- could be any number of things, but it looks like a paddle trigger for an air tool.
ReplyDelete2894 - Holds Head and Foot boards of a bed together in a furniture store.
ReplyDelete2896 - Part of handle for Fire Extinguisher
2897 - Kitchen lid lifter and multi tool.
