Millenium Falcon Tools - ESB

[thd9791]

Here's another tool folks. Long lever, polygonal shaft and a brass fitting up top with little knobs. Bottom has a skinnier shaft after another fitting.

looks like a oxy acetylene torch handle held upside down with the hoses removed.

Holy crap, thank you! this is why I love having a big community, that would have taken me ages because I've never used one

going down this rabbit hole..

You are 100% right!

Nope. Worked with those for years, that looks different.
More in the way of a ace/ocy cutter - you have a flame in the way as the regular ones, but when pressing the handle it injects extra oxy. Due to that you can cut thick steel plates.

I've noticed some have the lever on the other end (tip end) and some have it near the knobs (hose end). Are these two different tools for different jobs?

 

[Lichtbringer]

Shouldn´t make any difference other than brand/design.

The lever is just the same as pressing the turbo button in good old Battlestar Galactica.

Still no luck on that torch... still looking.

I absolutely see the dent puller or slide hammer now, it's the top half of the hydro spanner and the real metal one is over to the left of the hole Han sits in.

I'm hoping to get some opinions. I am 3D modelling the Hydro-spanner from the images here and some images from another thread. I have based my model on the Hydro-spanner from the Disney ride as someone shared great pictures! My question is how long does everyone think it is? I took the first picture in this post and used Han's hand as a guide so my guess is 4 palm widths. My palm is about 4 inches, so that would make it 16 inches long. Does that seem reasonable? Here's a picture of the Hydro-spanner I'm using as reference from the Disney ride. Opinions?

I found an older version of Chewie's torch. No ID, I haven't been able to find the brand, and thus the newer version they use on set. The dark spots on the knobs are set screws. This one doesn't have the brass ring fitting on the bottom, the smaller hose connector ends and the full length handle fillets

There is an adaptor between the exhaust valve and the GoNoGo Gauge. it's shiny and has a CONCAVE dish, pic not included I forgot - click for larger

Is there somewhere a mark, number or name visible?

Woah!
There’s a d ring on the Kobold handle - never saw that before! I wonder if that’s the ANH Luke droid caller repurposed??

 

[ConvergencePro]

This almost looks like a speaker from a cassette player

This picture cropped up on facebook - a color shot of the Falcon tools! They look like found objects, anyone recognize them?

Yes, I recognize those as hydro-spanners.

Sorry; I’m serving no useful purpose, here.

I don’t remember any manufacturer marks at all. The closest torches came up under national gas if that means anything. I’ll do another hunt this evening
