Ernie,
Thanks for the quick response! Is it an alternative to a Jacot set, or does it do something different?

LARRY IT IS A MORE REFINED ALTERNATIVE TO A JACOT TOOL,THE 3 LARGE WHEELS ARE THE BURNISHING TOOL WHERE A JACOT TOOL IS POWERED BY A BOW AND YOU HOLD THE BURNISHER WITH YOUR HAND.

Actually, I think this is a screw head polishing set.

Good video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYamLPIrvr8
