#84 is an old oil pump gear/shaft.
#85 is a hinge marking gauge.
#86 is a kid's toy or a harmless looking sap.
#87 is a spring compressor, probably automotive but NOT
a valve spring compressor to install valve spring clips.
S&K made lots of those which looked similar back in my
knuckle-busting days.
#88 is a wedge for an axe or maul handle.

I don't think that it is a spring compressor, as it would have
to have some sort of slot or hole on the non-forked jaw, to allow a
"keeper" to be put on the valve stem.
I would go with a specialized tool to either PULL spark plug
wires with minimal stress, or push spark plug wires onto the plugs.

To be "picky", #85 is a mortising gauge. One knife is
set to mark ONE side of the mortise, and, the other one is set
to mark the OTHER side of the mortise. It is especially useful
for mortises that are offset from the center of the stock.
Also, of course, without resetting things, it can also
mark the width of the tongue that goes on the mating piece of
wood.
I have no real clue as to #s 84 and 86, although I believe
someone else has called it a dreidel, The problem with that is that
I believe that they are square, and, usually made out of clay. THis
looks octagonal, and made out of metal.
#86 looks like a decorative "rats nest" of rings of metal,
although I don't know what I would put it on, myself.

It's probably brass, a magnet won't stick to it.

It's only 1 1/8" long.
I'll go ahead and give the answer to this one, it's a "Put and Take gambling
top".
There's info and several photos of some in a little better shape than mine
here:

Correct on 83, it's the mic; according to my sources 82 is not a taper
gauge; correct on 80; 81 is not an impact printer head or a de-scaler.

Yes, 88 is a tool handle wedge; I'm not sure if marking gauge is a
synonym for the actual name of this one.

This one isn't a monkey's fist, I think those are normally made of
rope and the configuration is different. This object is just 20 or so
rings, intertwined so that each ring goes through every other ring.
There is a term for it, and that's what I'm looking for on this one.

Yes, the idea is to try and guess/figure out what they are. I've been
posting these on rec.puzzles, but have also been posting here in order
to try and ID some of the tools.

Thanks for the info on the gauge, and also to Scott for his reply.

This top was made for an adult gambling game, the letters (P and T) on
it come from its name.

This one is more of a curiosity, it was referred to as a stress
reliever on one web page that I saw.

Correct on all, except that I was told that 71 was for turning valves,
please let me know if you can verify that it's a wire tightener or if
you have experience using this tool.

LOL, reminds of something that I saw last week, it's a spoof of old
industrial vidoes with some of the most impenetrable, nonsense laden
sales-jargon that you'll ever hear. It can be seen at this site:

I'm starting to buy into Robert's idea of 71 being a wire tightener,
in an email he explained that after tightening the wire with the large
end, the small end is hooked over the wire to keep it from unwinding.
Perhaps it's both a wire tightener and a valve turner. If you've
forgotten what it looks like, the photo is at the link below:

Is that horribly rusted iron/steel? It's the correct
shape for an old Chebby oil pump driven gear. Size?

And I still think #71 is a Utility company gas valve
wrench, too.

Brass doesn't usually rust quite like that. <g>

Yeah, the driven gear shafts were shorter, but I'll take your
word for it. I still don't think it's brass. I've never seen
acids eat it away in layers like water does to iron/steel.
