I was given a pile of engraver's tools, and there are a couple items that I can't find in any catalog without taking a whole bunch of time to find. Would anyone care to help me ID these items? Pictures attached (hopefully)

Photos #2 and #4 are ring clamps. The first one is missing the leather pads. Photos #3 and #6 are beading tools. Photo #5 are wax carvers.

The first photo is 3 collets for use in a flex shaft jewelers tool holder. They work like pin vices; one looks broken off or shortened. The hole in them is to fit a pin, allen wrench, or whatever to hold it while you tighten the collet.

#2 is a plastic ring clamp that's missing its pads and I'd throw that in the trash.
#3 & #6 are beading tools
#4 a good ring clamp
#5 Who knows maybe wax tools? I'd turn the long one into a burnisher by polishing the heck out of it. The rest into scrapers or whatever you need.
#7 looks like a chuck with a depth stop to be used in a drill motor maybe?
#8 Not a clue???

Thank you everyone for all your help. This proves that it pays to come right to the experts the first time around, rather than wasting time asking people who think they know everything, but really don't have a clue about anything!!
