Another what is it

Post by tailshaft56 »

This one gave me a Dejavue. I swear I've seen one before but I have no idea what it is for unless it's some for reloading bullets.

When I started out as an electronic tech about 60 yrs ago I used one
quite similar. First job was making a whole bunch of cables with many
wires about 15 ft long with AN 3206 (I think) plugs on the ends and striping
those wires would have been beastly without that striper.
That AN number doesn't look right but then I haven't looked in an
electronic catalog in a long time and as I said it's been a looooooong time.
I do remember what they were for. At the time the equipment was really
hush-hush. :-)

Operating machines is perfectly safe......until you forget how dangerous it really is!

Lyman used the name "Ideal Tools" on their reloading gear during the 50's, but they're in Middlefield, Conn...

I worked for thirty years and retired from Ideal Industries, Inc in 2007.

I have no idea what the tool is shown in the pic and can say I never saw one before now.

Ideal's trade mark colors and logo is nothing like the one shown on the tool label. That tool must have been made waybefore 1970.

I built and maintained the dies that stamp out the sissor type wire strippers. After doing that for 11 years I got into building automated equipment that made all of Ideal's wire nuts and connectors.

I had a great career at Ideal Industries, Inc and still attend the social functions and parties.
