    Default Tool ID please.

    I bought some hole saws at an auction and this set of gadgets was included in the lot. After serious efforts to work out what they're used for we gave up. Does anyone have any idea?

    First pic looks like a collet chuck of some description .
    Third pic ,the thing with the ball bearings in it is a tube swage ,it rolls the the raised collar on the tubes you have with the tools .

    Looks like it maybe a radiator repairers tool for making hose necks .

    They're used for putting the raised section on the tube as pictured with the short bits of tubes.

    You put them in the end of the appropriate sized tube and then screw them up so that the ball bearings roll the impression in the tube
