I google "King Dick"

To my surprise, no porno biggrin

A old British bicycle company.

My guess is that all the tools were for fixing bicycles.

America Pickers are classic bicycle nuts and you can contact them through their website.

They actually responded to me last year when a rare bike came up for dale in Hamilton.

Looks like they also made tools for everything,

Number 4 is part of a cylinder Honing set-up Sunnen is a honing tool company.

Here's a modern version of number 4

That is an amazing looking tool chest! How did you come by it?

Per the web;

#1 I think you're right about this one.

#2 looks like a disconnect tool for fuel line or brake line.

#3 shaped a lot like a old style tool bit holder for a lathe,

or a holder for a file for sharpening saws.

#5 a cutting bit tool for a lathe.

I found the toolbox through an ad on Kijiji. Made my month! I got it as a compliment to my little model/thread cutting lathe:

I got the lathe as part of my "learn to machine" effort. I was signed up for an Introductory Metal Lathe course at the local Maker Space, but Covid nixed that so I've been reading and playing.

The King Dick brand is new to me. I'd never heard of them before. Seems like a quality product though. Should come in handy. I have a cheap bicycle chain breaker that works but it's pretty delicate.

Thanks for the Sunnen info. I never thought of that. I spent a lot of hours on a Sunnen CK-10 many many moons ago so I should have made the connection. For some reason, my mind always associates Sunnen with Sun tools. There are a couple small cylinder hones in the box, likely brake cylinder hones. They're well-used and the stones are just about worn out, but there is also a brand new set of three stones in the box. I will check to see if Number 4 is related to either of the other honing tools.

Greaser:

I'm not sure if No. 5 is hard enough to be a cutting bit. I can test it to see.

#2 - hmm. Maybe for those wire spring hose clamps. Good one!

There are a couple of other pieces I am not sure about. Photos to come...

It is a high speed bit goes in this type of holder.

Made for ease of only having to sharpen one surface for cutting.

PM me if you need any info about machining...I'll be more than happy to help if I can.
