What are these tools?

[oknope]

I inherited tools from an auto mechanic. Identified most of the stuff I didn't know from model numbers but these ones don't have any apparent model numbers that I could look up and I don't know what they are called. Can you help?

The 3.5" long 3/16" diameter metal rod looks unremarkable but was worth engraving their name onto.

Thanks in advance!

The plumb bob might have been used for manual alignments. Some sort of puller at the bottom. Looks like some old hose clamp pliers up top. Nor sure about the pliers with the black handles. Edit: The tool on the right is a pair of piston ring expander pliers.

The bottom tool is a spring compressor.
The one above looks like a pair of wire drill brushes.

Wire terminal removal tool [the hex tool], CV boot clamp pliers [the black with plastic handles]

Top center silver item, hog ring pliers, usually used for upholstery installs.

Those could very well be hog ring pliers... seems to be lots of different styles of them. The rusty ones beside them could be as well, they almost look homemade they are so basic.

The black pliers have sharp little spikes protruding towards each other at the ends, can't really see it in the pictures. Here are a couple zoomed pictures.

Thanks all! Zoom in on the last pliers. They have very sharp little points in there...

Four cycle’s not a clue item may be a pair of brake cable pliers. Designed to sheath back during installation and removal.

split ring? not split ring? any fishermen here?

 

[robert6715]

Believe it or not, those black pliers are also CV boot clamp pliers. I thought they were last night but couldn't be sure. The close-up confirms it for me.

The 3.5 long 3/16 diameter rod is inserted into a Breaker Bar handle with a similar sized hole in it makin it a Tee Handle.

Wow you guys solved them all! Since you're totally acing it, I scraped the bottom of the tool chest and dug up a couple more unknown bits and pieces...

Well that was quick! Not so sure about the first one, but you nailed the others.

Number 5 isn't for a light, it's a hose pinch off clamp.

I got a desk lamp bracket that looks just like it, except mine base one more piece. A true multi tool.

 

[Fedwrench]

Number 1 isn't a crowfoot spanner. It's a tool for tightening alternator belts. The hooked portion grabs the alternator and the drive tool or breaker bar goes in the star shaped hole. apply pressure, moving alternator, tightening belt.
#5 is a cheap spark plug socket

 

[The Cobbler]

hose clamp, lamp bracket? I have the exact looking item that came with a lamp. it's a universal tool !

 

[Bubba Fett]

I remember seeing a lot of tools like this in my Uncle's shop. He was a mechanic, and a very good one. I don't know what they all are for, but I appreciate them just the same, and I've learned something, so thanks for posting.

#5 is a key for GM locking wire wheels covers. I had one for the wire wheels on my 1983 Toronado. The little flat blade is to pry off the center cap to access the lock.

OK, let's see how smart people on this forum are.

First one is by Sunnen. Second is two similar zippered cases that are 4' wide and have ~8" slat at the top - what are they for?
