I've seen a few of these before... just can't think of their names. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Easiest first- #4 is an air blower.
#1 - A contour gauge for copying shapes as in moldings, etc.
WAG on #5- A pocket scribe?
-
no 2 looks like a crimping tool maybe for conduit.
-
no3 looks like a reamer/ burr remover for pipe or tubing, but could be to drill hole in lead pipe for a junction.

I think #1 is a stone hammer.

Yes, #1 is a crandall; a stone ax.

I think you are right about it being a deburring reamer for pipe or drilled holes in metal. Lead pipe reamers/drills look quite a bit different. One of those seems to show up on this board every few months.

The crandall is usually used on softer stones such as sandstone or limestone...
The pliers seem almost like some sort of blasting cap crimper, but are too large for normal det caps - the key to open a storage box of some sort, and the other leg to make a hole... I don't think conduit crimper, it needs to be something softer or with a thinner wall section...

The pliers are for crimping gas lines, if I have the scale right.
The type of gas lines on torches and oxy-acetylene bottles.
I bought a new crimper that had a steel block with two holes. Instead of pliers it had a wire handle that connected the two halves, like a long "u" shape. Instead of squeezing you would hit the top of the square block with a mallet, crimping the brass ferrule.
That doesn't ecplain those two points, though.

The pliers are for crimping the couplings on electrical conduit. It looks like one handle has a deburring tool built in. Does that part have cutting edges?
The triangle tool, 3, I think is also a deburring tool, probably also for conduit.
Are there any graduations on #5?
