POST14_TOOL53. This steel tool is approximately 6=C2=BD inches long. The se=
rrated projections on the bowl-like end are sharp but not razor sharp. The =
inner hole of the bowl is also sharp. The tool has no independent moving pa=
rts up to the flexibility of the metal.

POST14_TOOL54. This metal tool is approximately 4=C2=BD inches long in the =
closed position. It creates two cylinders with inner diameters of approxima=
tely 3/8 of an inch. There are numbers, warnings and a name stamped into th=

if the tool is not recognized.

POST14_TOOL55. This tool is clearly in the metal pliers=E2=80=99 family. It=
is almost 8 inches long. The jaws have a rubbery red plastic coating. The =
set screw can be adjusted to limit the closed position of the jaws anywhere=
from a =C2=BD inch gap to fully closed. The jaws do not open wider than 1 =
inch. The edges of the jaws are concave / convex.

POST14_TOOL56. These two metal tools are approximately 3 inches long. They =
both have removable screw-on parts on one of their ends with holes passing =
through them. There is a small cavity inside each even when they are fully =
screwed on. They both have solid points at the other end. The black steel p=
oint on the end of the brass one is removable as well.

POST15_TOOL57. This metal tool is approximately 10 inches long. The handles=
have a rubbery red plastic coating. One handle ends in a jaw with curved p=
ortion with a sharp inner edge. There is a further attachment to this jaw w=
hich can rotate to create a closed oval shape with sharp inner edges. The o=

The pictures do not describe how they can move, how sharp they are or what they are made of. Also for a bigger challenge you can try to identify them before seeing them.

See http://55tools.blogspot.com/ and search archived posts with this site in their bodies to see what a professional "What is it?" looks like.

It's a Slotted Screw-Holding Screwdriver. The split blade expands in
the screw slot to hold the screw while starting out. They usually have a
collar that slides on the blade to expand and release it.

Looks like a pounce wheel.

It's a line disconnect tool for detaching fuel lines. Looks
like the right size for Ford.

They are plumb bobs. The cavity is probably for mercury, to
dampen the motion so they stop swinging more quickly. The one
on the right looks like a Starrett.

Screw holding screwdriver. These things are a pain to use,
but using magnetic screwdrivers was frowned on in electronic
equipment back in the days of vacuum tubes (not because of the
tubes per se, but because tuned circuits could be detuned if
a mounting screw became magnetized).

It's either a flaring tool for copper tubing, I think. Or
possibly a deburring tool.
