Cat staples are used to hold the horns of the catamaran in place.

The Dictionary of Newfoundland English defines a catamaran as:

"Sled with stout wooden runners curved up in front and with a vertical stick, or 'horn' at each corner; hauled in the winter by dogs, horse or man; used especially for carting wood and other heavy loads as well as for pleasure as it was used for sliding."

Dies are used to cut a full thread at one cut and the taps cut all the nuts alike which are a perfect fit for bolts.

The A. B. Jardine & Co. catalogue says the following about their taps and dies:

"There is an emmense number of these dies in use. They work well and are very low priced. With fair usage and a sufficient supply of good heavy oil, a solid die will cut thousands of bolts. In working the dies the guides render it impossible to cut a crooked thread. Anyone who can turn the die stock, and keep oil on the die, can cut bolts, it takes no skill. These tools will do more than three times as much work as the old kind in the same time, and make a much better job. The set includes a tap, die and guide for each size and die stock."
