I found these items in the bottom of an old toolbox. What it the name of Tim the toolman taylor are these and how are they used. The top set comes in mm and sae. The middle two have some kind of gear attachment on one end and an allen type pocket in the other and the bottom one is some kind of cutting tool. Anyway, thanks for the insights tool guru's of diyland.

The bottom one is for deburring brass when reloading.

Looks like SY beat me to it.

The other items maybe shell holders or die holders of some sort.

Bottom is a deburr tool for metal pipe or rifle cases, Middle not real sure by the picture, Top picture is the side with the hole a hex socket end or could you put a ratchet into it?
For the top if the hole end goes on a ratchet then I would say they are size adapters but the fact you say sae and metric that might not be correct

Ok, got the debur thing. You manually turn the thing. The black knob on the top set things depress and it pushes out on the other end while the ball depresses. It's a socket holder of some kind, but what tool drives these things? The little ones are a complete mystery to me. Thanks guys!!

You use the wrench flats to drive whatever socket you attach to them. I suppose one uses them in places without enough clearance for a ratcheting socket driver.

On the little set in the middle, does the "gear" end spin freely and then "engage" when you put a little pressure on it? Can you show a pic of the "gear" end?

Those two little jobs might be along the lines sdmf stated. The are labeled 1/4" pocket with 3/8ths and 10mm for the flat edges, but it's the wacky gear looking part on the end that has me baffled. Is there a gear driven racket set some where?

Does the "gear" end spin freely, then engage and turn the whole body when you press it?

Nope. The gear type end is solid. The metal is thinner, but doesn't flex or press in or out. It's also the same width and shape of the flat ends. It's also not magnetic that I can tell.

Middle two, I belive are part of a pass through socket set to be use for long threads like ready rod. Guessing the ratchet wrench has a shoulder that the clip end pushes into to hold it in place.
