I thought they might be some kind of extractors but don't understand why there is such a range of sizes. Could find any sign of a company name on them.

They have letters on them along with numbers and they are sequenced A to Y. Not being a machinist, I don't know enough about letter sizes to be dangerous! Would the be for some kind of precision piping?

You might see some chain drills (including mine) looking through this thread.

The first photos are broken bolt/screw extractors. You drill a shallow hole in the broken fastener, and turn the tapered teeth into the hole counter-clockwise. The teeth grip the inside of the hole and, with luck, the fastener unscrews.

I used these quite a bit on aircraft Phillips-head screws. There was one size that would work if you drilled out the stripped cross just a little beyond the bottom of the cross recess. If you drilled deeper, the head would often shear off, but at the right depth, it worked almost every time!

Snap-On used to sell these, but they were sourced elsewhere.

Here are a couple more. There first look like nuts of some kind, they're all marked with a size/thread pitch and the threads are pretty shallow.

Is the second some sort of hub nut socket?DSC_5937.jpg

Those 'nuts' are for driving out axle stud bolts. Screw it onto a stud and drive it out with a hammer without mushrooming the ends.

no neat sig line

The socket is for bearing nuts on drive axles. I believe that one is for front axles on 4X4 pickups, probably around the 1970's.

The set is , multi spline extractors I have a smaller range from snap on you can drill into broken bolt with a drill and use them but I manly use mine to extract hex head bolts or grub screws that have been rounded

The bit is from a rock drill. A pneumatic hammer beats on it through a hollow shank (or series of shanks threaded together to make a deeper hole) and air is blown through the hole in the center of the bit to push the chips out of the hole.

Bits around two inches in diameter are used in rock quarries to drill holes to blast the rock with Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil blasting agent. Smaller bits are used for dynamite sticks.

First ones are for wheel removal on old cars with spoke wheels. Different makes used different sizes and thread count. Here are some of mine.

The first picture shows screw/bolt extractors sold by BluePoint/Snap-on. I found marginal usability over the past 30 years.
