Question What are these tools?

I've had these in the shop for years. They're from when my grandpa built it and owned the property. Anyone know what these are for?

Re: What are these tools?

the tool on the right is a valve spring compressor. Other tools may be used for removing valve spring caps and half moon keepers, I think !

Re: What are these tools?

The tool on the left is a door/window handle removing tool, the one in the middle is a spark plug wire/boot remover, and the one on the right is a spring compressing tool, used for compressing the spring in a door hinge. Can also be used to compress other springs.

The one on the left resembles a bull nose lead, only smaller. Probably what a 67-72 owners wife used to control their husbands in the obsession.
