Some Whatsit Assistance

What is this set in the foreground? These (along with a ton of other stuff) came in an old MAC stack I purchased a couple weeks ago.

I believe the set in the back would be to in large a hole. In a similar fashion a step bit would. I am unsure on the black ones.

Back ones are countersinks, the front ones are cobweb holders

Besides the obvious, what's a cobweb holder? There are also tons of stuff like these, which I also don't know what they're specifically for?

Your most recent picture looks like the tips to a sheet metal punch set.

looks like aircraft sheet metal tooling for setting and removing rivets
do a google search for yard store .com you can i.d. almost everything you have pictured

How about these guys? Here is the patent but I still don't quite understand what they're for??

What are the forged-in markings other than the "W/L"?

The first photo of the last three pics shows 'punch' tips for an air chisel.

The stubby drill bits with threaded ends look like they would fit these depth stops that came with my little Kennedy machinist's box.

are the cobweb holders some sort of cleco clamp?

The answer to the first question is Cleco fasteners. Used for holding sheet metal temporarily while riveting sheets together. Mostly used in aircraft building/repair. They use a special pair of pliers to compress the protruding shaft at the top to release the gripping fingers. Look at the bottom side and you will see the two "grippers" with a tapered tongue between them.

The answer to the last question is linotype positioning brackets for making custom layouts in the printing industry. Probably adapted to layout work by the aircraft mechanic that owned the tool box.

The threaded drill bits were common in the aircraft industry for angle drills that have a 1/4-28 internal threaded spindle.

Those don't say anything else. The brass ones (left) say "mono lock." here's a pic of how the hook into the holder.

Cleco use

Thank you gents, that makes complete and total sense. He was an aircraft mech. If you know anyone who could use them, I'll obviously never have a need for them.

Here is another style of cleco clamp, which I find very useful.

I have a handful of the pin style, similar to yours, but have yet to use them.

Yup, those pliers are in the box too.
