Cooper's handle-scraper
Primarily a painter's tool, the handle-scraper is sometimes used to scrape wood smooth, to clean the interior of a barrel, to finish pottery products, etc. It is usually a triangular metal plate (5-14 cm) with a metal rod in the middle of the surface that sticks into a wooden handle. One of the sides can be arcuate. The tool differs from the cooper's inshave drawing knife in that the direction of the blade and that of the machined part are perpendicular to each other. See also the box scraper, the putty scraper for glass and the foam scraper. [MOT]

Crandall hammer
Hand tool of a stonecutter to hammer away the irregularities on a hard
stone face. It is composed of a number of pointed irons, held together in a
bracket with a locking wedge. The handle can be wood or metal. Since the
irons are easily exchangeable, they can be individually sharpened or
forged. This hand tool is no longer actively used. (1) See also the bush
hammer. [MOT] (1) Due to the excessive dust formation, it would already be
prohibited in the Netherlands in 1921. See JANSE 1997: 26.
Crate axe
Some bulky or fragile goods are transported in wooden crates. Sometimes a
nail extractor, but usually a crowbar is used to open them. The latter is
sometimes combined with an ax and a hammer; it then becomes a crate ax.
There are several models of that composite tool. In general, it is made
entirely of iron and weighs 0.4-0.8 kg. The handle continues above the ax
and the hammer; he forms a crowbar there. Sometimes a drop-shaped hole is
drilled in the stem or a notch in the blade of the ax to pull out long
nails. [MOT]

Croquette press
Kitchen appliance with which you can press croquettes. It has a cylindrical or square, usually plastic housing with one or more tubular projections at the bottom and a rotating crank or rod that acts as a lever. The croquette press is filled with mashed potatoes and with the help of the crank or rod a plate is pushed downwards, the mashed dough presses through the tubular projection. In this way a long sausage shape is formed, which is then cut into smaller pieces - the size of one croquette. On some models there is a carrying board on wheels that is slid under the press and on which the pressed croquettes end up. See also the croquette tongs. [MOT]

Crow bar
The crow bar is a metal round or flat bar of approx. 25-105 cm, with a
slightly curved split end, the claw, to pull out nails. The internal edges
of the slit are usually chamfered for easier nail grasping. The bottom end
of some large models is curved C-shaped to pull out longer nails. The other
end of the crow bar is often forged flat to break open boxes. The Japanese
crowbar (Japanese: kajiya) differs in shape from the western model. It has
two right-angle claws. On the curved side there is a flat striking surface
on which one can hit with the hammer. To remove nails, the upholsterer and
shoemaker use a small crow bar, the pin lifter with wooden handle. The
furrier uses a comb-shaped tool. The crow bar can be distinguished from the
handspike and the pinch bar. See also crate axe.
Crow wheel
The crow wheel is a shoemaker's tool (approx. 12-14 cm) that consists of a
small (approx. 1 cm diameter; a few millimeters wide) wheel with a motif
that is fixed in a copper U-shaped bracket and a wooden handle. After it
has warmed up, it is rolled over the center of the shoe sole to create a
decorative line pattern there. [MOT]

Crucible tongs
Crucible tongs are metal tongs with relatively long arms (approx. 10-40 cm)
and convex curved jaws, with which the melting pot can be removed from the
fire. Large versions of crucible tongs are also used in founding metals
like bronze to pour the molten metal into the mould. These tools are 2 to 4
meters long and must be handled with two people (1). [MOT] (1) One also
speaks of 'foundry ladle' or 'bull ladle'. See SELLENS, 270.
