I've asked for help a few times this past week in identifying a bunch of tools I ran into. My latest question involves what I assume are chisels and another tool I am not familiar with. The crow bar type bar(biggesti n pic) has "K Wilson" written on it. The other has "U-S-E" on it.

The smaller 2 are star chisels, used for making or enlarging holes in masory, usually to attach hardware or run a pipe or wire through. I think the big one is made as a pry bar with the pointy end meant to sere as a drift for alligning holes.

I'm not even sure if the pry bar is affiliated with the chisels. They were just in the same drawer. Thanks for the info on the chisels. All I have on the unknown pry bar is "K Wilson" is engraved on the side.

Wondering what this is as well. The hammer is about 11 inches long and says "Cisco" Germany on the head. It is extremely light and was in the same area as the chisels, ******* files etc. I was thinking it was an old tac hammer but it seems lighter than I've seen before.
