A question for a tool person
In another thread I started about my husband's restored toolbox. We found these in one of the drawers.
No clue as to what they are. The one with the wooden handle has a pick on one end and a slotted end.
The other two tools are identical, the silver thing slides out of the black housing. And has a strange looking tip.

PTQuilts ... Because the hook slides out of the housing, I don;t think it's a nail set,
My wild guesses would be tools for doing leather work ... or wood carving/sculpting.
Can you give us any better pics and closer of the different tips?

I did find out that the wooden handled one has to do with soldering. The other two are a mystery.

The bottom is definitely used in soldering. It is used to manipulate the solder into different areas. Or at least, that is what it is used for at Dickey-John's electronics plant. Who knows? There could be a dozen uses for it.

No, Mom I don't think these are Vet dental tools. They were in a really nasty tool box.
