What are these here doohickeys?

[GringoLocksmith]

I found a box of goodies in my garage. I was hoping I could get some help with identification or guesses as to what the lock-related application might be, especially for the homemade items.

Here's the lot of 'em, labeled with numbers:



And here are a few of the items that I think warrant closer shots:

4:


5:


6:


8:


16:


17:


And some notes on those that I have anything to say about:

1: Marked "Testors". On the square end it says "Glow head", and on the other it says "prop nut".
2: Looks like one of those things for opening padlocks, though it's pretty flimsy. In Spanish it's called a peine.
4: That appears to be an old Ford key.
6: OTC NO 728A
7: Seems like a pin spanner for an angle grinder, but too small for the nut on my 4" Makita.
9: "Cylinder removing tool". Kwikset?
10: Schlage
11: Unican
18: Eagle Ranch

2 - looks like a comb pick. To push drivers AND key pins up into the lock housing.
4 - I'd say it's a homemade impressioning clamp with what looks like an impressioned key in it.
7 - This is to adjust the bearings on a spindle.
8 - I'd guess is a hand scraper but could be useful for lots of things.
11 & 12 - They are collet spanners, used on the spindles of milling machines and the like.
16 - This is a tubular lock cut height decoder.

Thanks, Huxley. You just knocked out like half that list in less time than it took me to lay out the contents of the box.

Oh, and I just recognized #13. That's a key for a Kimberley Clark dispenser.

1 is likely for a model airplane
6 is for holding slotted screws to help get them started in tight places
7 looks like the spanner that goes with an angle grinder to remove/tighten the grinding disc.
8 looks like a shiv a prison inmate might make, for stabbing guards/ other inmates!
10, 11,12 are spanners for locksets, they tighten the collar that holds them together. also to push in the part that holds some doorknobs on.
16 is a tubular lock decoder, as Hux said, and
17 is for a thread repair insert.
18 is a divot fixer tool for golfers

Aren't the originals made of plastic? I could swear I fabricated a metal one to match a plastic original about eight months ago.

#4 makes me think of a drilling guide, allowing you to drill at the correct location.
