Here is another post in my amateur €œWhat is it?€� tool thread. As usual, I will try to answer questions about their composition, size and how they can move. Pictures are provided via Dropbox.

POST14_TOOL53. This steel tool is approximately 6½ inches long. The serrated 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 parts up to the flexibility of the metal.

POST14_TOOL54. This metal tool is approximately 4½ inches long in the closed position. It creates two cylinders with inner diameters of approximately 3/8 of an inch. There are numbers, warnings and a name stamped into the metal. I have hidden them in the pictures but will provide them as hints if the tool is not recognized.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/94y3nq5abe...ICALL.jpg?dl=0

POST14_TOOL55. This tool is clearly in the metal pliers 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 ½ 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 point 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 portion with a sharp inner edge. There is a further attachment to this jaw which can rotate to create a closed oval shape with sharp inner edges. The other side of this attached piece that has cogs on the outer arc. The size of the circle can be decreased by a ratchet action with the motion of the other handle. There is a release that will allow free motion of the rotating part. I have hidden a name stamped on the tool.

POST15_TOOL58. On first look this would appear to be a regular screw driver.. However the shaft is split and the width and breadth of the driving end can be varied by sliding the movable fitting along the shaft. Moving the fitting toward the driving end decreases its breadth and increases its width.

POST15_TOOL59. This metal tool is approximately 4 inches by 5 inches and consists of four parts: a rigid U-shaped part with cut-away portions near the tops of the U; a threaded shaft passing through the bottom of the U; a smooth shaft providing leverage to turn the threaded shaft; and a round toy-top-shaped metal piece ending in a point attached to the threaded shaft but able to spin independently of it. The arms of the U are rigid. The cut-away portions near the tops of the U would allow it to pass a rectangular piece with a cross-section 5/8 inch by 1¼ inch.

POST15_TOOL60. This plastic and metal tool is a little less than 7 inches long. The working end has a round opening approximately 1 inch in diameter. The inside of the ring tapers inward and has lightly scored marks parallel to the shaft of the tool.

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.

It's the flaring part of a tube flaring tool. It's missing the part
that clamps onto the tube.

serrated projections on the bowl-like end are sharp but not razor

Looks like a pounce wheel.

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

POST14_TOOL55. This tool is clearly in the metal pliers 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 ½ inch gap to fully closed. The jaws do not open
wider than 1 inch. The edges of the jaws are concave / convex.

No idea.

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 point on the end of the brass one is
removable as well.

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.

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 portion with a sharp inner edge. There is a further
attachment to this jaw which can rotate to create a closed oval shape
with sharp inner edges. The other side of this attached piece that has
cogs on the outer arc. The size of the circle can be decreased by a

driver. However the shaft is split and the width and breadth of the
driving end can be varied by sliding the movable fitting along the
shaft. Moving the fitting toward the driving end decreases its breadth
and increases its width.

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).

POST15_TOOL59. This metal tool is approximately 4 inches by 5 inches
and consists of four parts: a rigid U-shaped part with cut-away
portions near the tops of the U; a threaded shaft passing through the
bottom of the U; a smooth shaft providing leverage to turn the
threaded shaft; and a round toy-top-shaped metal piece ending in a
point attached to the threaded shaft but able to spin independently of
it. The arms of the U are rigid. The cut-away portions near the tops
of the U would allow it to pass a rectangular piece with a
cross-section 5/8 inch by 1¼ inch.

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

POST15_TOOL60. This plastic and metal tool is a little less than 7
inches long. The working end has a round opening approximately 1 inch
in diameter. The inside of the ring tapers inward and has lightly
scored marks parallel to the shaft of the tool.

A spring compressor?
