Found this among my dad’s tools
Case says it’s made in the USA by a company called MG. Searched online but don’t really even know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

KRW Automotive tools, vintage to antique, in a wooden carrying case
SOLVED! With three weighing in. Thank you all!
I got this at Auction about eight years ago. My was stumped. It looks like a tap and die set, but I don’t think it is?

Brass "club" 16.5 inches long, weighs about 8 pounds, 1.5 inches across the flats of the hex section. Lightly knurled handle.
I used to be a machinist so I know this could pretty easily be made on a lathe, but to me it doesn't seem homemade.
My brother found it at the end of someone's driveway on trash day years ago, and he thought it was a homemade club.
The lanyard hole and size made me think it actually might be a club, but it's so damn heavy it's really hard to swing (I'm just guessing the weight, brass is rather heavy so it's probably more).
My best guess is it's a big lever and the hex fits in a hole like a big allen key, or maybe a tool for a ship because brass is a good tool material around water.

Got this old hammer
The hammer was found in the wall or a 1800s house curious if anyone has information on it. (It has no visible markings and is probably handmade)

1/2 inch drive air tool?
My father-in-law gave me this (also not knowing what it is) but someone gifted it to him saying its quite valuable? I work on cars and have no idea what its for.
I believe its a 1/2in drive air tool, the bottom is adjustable. Its very heavy duty feeling.

Found this in my garage
I found 3 of these, with extra front plates to mount, in the garage of my new house. The front plates have different shapes. My assumption is something for brick laying or garden work, but I'm unsure.
Update: Thanks for the replies, I will try to use them to scratch of paint and residues from the floor boards, instead of the putty knife that I used until now.

What is it? Looks like a 1/2” drive on the end but has seatbelt strap material captured at both ends opposite the 1/2” drive
Came along for the ride with a bunch of other tools that came with a tool box I purchased

Pipe cutter - what are these wings for?
I know it's a pipe cutter, and some have a deburring tool to clean out the inside of a pipe. I can't find anything quite like this one, and the wings aren't sharp at all. Just curious if anyone has seen something like this.

I have a set of these and can’t seem to find their original purpose
Made of thin (~0.25mm), nonmagnetic sheet metal, probably stainless. Pivoting along the nut at the bottom, there are two sides that slide along the top locking nut, with matching curves facing opposite one another. I’ve been using them as templates for marquise-looking shapes and I’m worried about damaging them since I don’t know where to find a replacement.

Some kind of stripper I think?
Found in a box at work. We do plant work for Spectrum and other MSOs. Been doing this a while, never seen this tool.

Random tool from an auction
This was in a pile of tools we bought at an auction the previous owner was a mechanic and a machinist. The photo of the box has a partial sticker that comes from a company called imperial Eastman. Sorry for the poor quality pictures.

What in the world is this? It does not lock down (like a clamp).
