a good haul for oldtool hell... and a request for information

I picked up a few things at a resale shop.

the damage: just over twenty bucks. the plane is a bit late to be very desirable, but I figured the rosewood tote and knob were worth the $12 price tag. the yankee 1530A auto- directional drill for $4 was too nice to pass up. it appears to be in perfect shape. the little prybar will go straight into a grab-and-go toolbox, so even though the price was close to new retail I'm glad to have it. and last but not least, the atkins saw filing multi-tool, which a quick check with the google indicated was complete except for instructions. anybody here have and use one? got maybe a scan of the directions, and/or comments as to the viability of this as a useful device?

Nice score on the yankee drill; i see those go for a lot more. Not bad on the plane if you can get it working without too much. That prybar looks like one of my favorites to have around, and you can never have too many of those.

The saw tool might be nice for jointing, but most of the functions on that, I believe, were really designed for crosscut logging type saws. May or may not be the most useful tool for you.

I actually have a large logging type crosscut saw in need of sharpening. its pretty far down on my list of projects, but this bumps it up one notch , I guess.

Looks like a good haul.

The saw tool is just like one of mine. It can be used for jointing a regular saw, but can be dangerous compared to the regular tools for holding a file for jointing.

There is something on it that is used to set the height of the raker teeth.

I only have the large piece. It looks like you have two more pieces.

I have to go now, but will try to find a link to instructions tomorrow if you do not find them by then.
