Hi
Any thoughts on the use of these tools?
Scale for size reference.
Thanks

Bottom two are what I'd call a Cape chisel. For metal work, useful to have if the need arises. Sort of used the same way that a woodworking chisel would be but for metal. The bottom one looks like edge is either very dull or reground and is realistically just a cold chisel now. Top one i can't tell - maybe a bearing scraper?

Thanks for the answers. They were my grandfather’s tools.

1980 found me as a Pipefitter Apprentice and bottom ones look like Gouge Chisels we had to remove broken pieces of threaded male pipe broken off / stuck in female fittings .

A Cape chisel was also used to cut new key-way slots onto steel shafts....

I learned something new again. I have a few "cape chisels" and I never knew what they were for.

A very crude keyway.. but still a keyway....tough to do on a hardened steel shaft.

And, will also clean up any "Boogered up" slots....

Bottom one is a ruler, but some people call it a scale.
