Wierd parts - anyone know what they are?

[bigal]

Hi to all,

I have just cleared out a toolbox that was given to me by a friend and found some strange bits in it. There are two separate sets of these things and I am struggling to even think of what they are for. My mate doesn't know either as he was given the box by someone at a bootsale.

They all have a hex body and different ends and are made of different metals. Both sets are identical and that's about the limit of my knowledge on them.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Al

The 2 bits next to the penny are tips for interchangeable tip circlip pliers.
The other things look like broken roll pin punches in the main but that does not tie in with the coin you have used for scale.

Would you believe I have some circlip pliers and never even considered it. Then again mine just have heads that swap I think.

Good catch though! Another mystery solved even without scooby doo!
