768 faucet seat reamer (maybe)
769 Dang! Why am I thoinking of something to do with a schrader valve?
770 tool removes pins from connectors
771 flash-bang grenade
772 items 1,2 ??, but the hook is for pulling down debris and pulling
apart walls/ceilings to get at cavities.

Dave
768. Faucet seat reamers/dressers
769. Tool for swaging copper pipe and light conduit. Different from
flaring. Makes a straight coupling between two pieces of pipe.
771. Looks like some sort of canister or grenade.
772. Aren't they nozzles for fire hoses? hook is called a pike pole
and was originally used for pulling burning thatch off of roofs during
the 1600's and 1700's. Still used by firefighters today for pulling
down burning ceiling and roof materials.
773. Pliers for applying some sort of clip or ring.

Interesting, likely a reference to "Magdeburg Spheres", a teaching
demonstration of the power of a vacuum, two hemispheres which have a
sealing surface and a valve in one side. The hemispheres are put
together and connected to a vacuum pump. Once evacuated, they are
nearly impossible to pull apart. Once you open the valve, they fall
apart.
They look just like the pic, but are two half spheres that seal
together.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdeburg_hemispheres
just an interesting aside

That's what I guessed. It was the name that I noticed first.

negative. The sphere I have holds (held) compressed oxygen at 1200psi.
When empty, ther halves of the sphere were still strongly attached. I
suspect they were threaded together.

769 looks like a tubing flaring punch used with a flaring vise.
Once again they have all been answered correctly:
768. Faucet reamer
769. The seller told me it was an alignment pin, but I agree with those who
say it is a swaging tool.
770. Waldom Electronics HT2038 Extractor
771. Breath-O-Life pure medical oxygen
772. 8:00 - Speaking trumpet, 11:00 - torch or lantern. The hook was used
years ago to pull burning thatch from a roof, to pull down walls, conices,
and chimneys; and also for other misc. work.
773. Staple remover

You're RIGHT about that! . . . I think. ;^)

That was my first thought, except I was thinking of a wire-wrap
*removal* tool. Ghads, I've wrapped and removed a lot of wires in my
younger days . . . .

Nope. A wire-wrap "un-wrapper" has a spiraled slot in the tip that
this thingy doesn't have. You were right on the first take . . . .

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as usual.
For those who have been following it in these threads, my wife
is home from the hospital (Tuesday), and is getting stronger every day.
Thanks for your concern.
Now to the guesses and firm identifications:
768) Tools for re-seating valve faces in faucets. One for flat
faced vales, one for conical ones -- to match available washers.
The sliding cones are used to center the shaft in the faucet
body, so the valve facing is properly at right angles to the
valve stem.
769) O.K. It sort of looks like a clutch plate centering tool
except that the mushrooming at the bottom (the knurling *must*
have been put on before the mushrooming) suggests that it has
been used to drive things instead.
So -- I will say that it is used to drive bushings into
(and out of) equipment.
770) Connector pin extraction tool. Probably for the Molex brand,
as the color and design looks right for that. The pins are
crimped onto wires before being inserted into the connectors,
and they lock there until a tool like this is used to remove
them.
If it had knurling on the handle, and if there were something
visible just inside the open end, I would have suggested a
hand-operated wire-wrap tool instead.
771) The green suggests oxygen -- perhaps a pilot's bail-out bottle,
though the ones which I used to have were a bit more oblong. It
is missing the demand regulator, however.
But it *might* be insecticide, or a fire extinguisher container
instead.
772) The 5:00-11:00 one appears to be the nozzle for the fire hose.
The 2:00-8:00 one might be a fogger nozzle, or it might be a
strainer for the pick-up end when pumping from a nearby pond or
other water source of opportunity.
The hook is probably for pulling down burning wall materials to
generate a path to victims who need rescuing.
All speculation, as I am not a firefighter.
773) Hmm ... quality of construction is about that of hand-held hole
punches and such from the office supply store, so let me guess
that its function is one of the following two -- depending on
how tight a fit the tongue has in the slot.
a) A staple-less stapler. It cuts the paper on either side
of the tongue, and folds it under to hold the paper
sheets together.
b) A staple extractor. (Not a very good one, if so.)
End of my guesses -- now to see what others have stated.
Enjoy,
DoN.

For fitting over the threads on a faucet which has a bonnet type
of cap (the older style) to hold it on and concentric to guide the shaft
of the reamer.

They *all* (which I used) had a three-pronged reverse spiral tip
to catch the end of the wrapped wire and start it loose. Some had a
collar around that to keep the wire from forming too big a tangle. But
all of those either had a hexagonal shaft or knurling on the handle to
give you a grip to rotate it in operation.
*This* item is designed for pushing only -- note the multiple
grooves turned into it for a non-slip grip in that direction. -- it is
a sleeve which goes into a Molex connector to depress the two or three
barbs which normally lock the crimped terminal in the connector body,
and an internal moving (and spring-loaded) piece to kick the pin out of
the connector body, so you don't have to be pulling on just the right
wire to get it out.
I've used both tools many times, and own examples of both.
Enjoy,
DoN.

772. The object at 2 to 8 is a speaking trumpet - used before the
appearance of bullhorns and later 2-way radios. The object at 5 to 11
is a lantern - the precursor of spotlights. The hook is a pike pole,
used for ceiling pulling primarily, but also used for many other
purposes requiring reach. This assemblege in the center of the badge
is often referred to as a "scramble".

And here I've always pulled on the wire and used a screwdriver or
needle-nose to compress the barbs...
