About Us

150 years ago in 1874, our great grandfather Henry Sneezum started our independent family run business aged 17 years old. Our first store was on Fore Street in Ipswich where he became a pawnbroker, clothier and jeweller. Sneezums has continued through the generations, now being run by Elizabeth...

Some kind of slide hammer, might need a few more photos!!!
 
Thanks guys...I found the London info which doesnt seem to shed light on that particular product (some other great innovative power tools on there!!) , but had no idea Sneezums was still trading locally.

Ill take some more pics at some point.

When you say 'tally' @DXX , are you referring to a particular part of the kit?

The tag on the box, I can see /4 so it’s an imperial measurement in inches.
EDIT: I think I read “TYPE 1/4” Inch”?

Do you mean a dimple die? I was thinking the same but the two studs and tube brushes don’t go with it.
Plumbing tool I think

Not quite! The sort of tool the gas board use to punch an inspection hole through a footpath with before lowering a a gas probe when hunting leaks! (I think I stopped making any sense a few hours ago!)

Slide hammer? Different to a ball pein!
 
@DXX called what I was trying to describe correctly: a slide hammer! So, my curveball suggestion was way off the mark!
 
For forming a flange on a lead pipe. Need to see the underside if the conical part.

My first thought was a risbridger style pump. The large ring could be an adaptor for the lid of a drum and the extra pipes are extension pieces to reach the bottom?
Need more pictures of the parts out of the box please!
