Desert dwellers won't understand this, but if you have ever had to lie in the slush on both sides of a car trying to get the last 1/4" of slack out of a set of tire chains while you try to latch the connector with your bare hands, then you have wished that you had the chain pliers.

Second picture the wrench on the left looks like a Billings 97, it would be marked on the bar of the moveable law.

The tire chain tool makes sense.  The drill is definetely a Millers Falls although there are no markings on.  There are a few on eBay with the same design.
The small wrench does look like a Billings but there are no markings.
Still looking for value.

In its current condition, the drill is about a 3-5 dollar item.
 My friend Wiktor could turn it into a $300 item though.
 And you can too, if you want, but it takes work.

  I like the Pextos!
 I just recently rehandled one just like the big one. Wasn't too hard to do.
 The 6" looks to be in pretty good shape as is.  Probably an $8 wrench?
The big one won't be worth much even with a new handle.

 The bicycle wrenches will all find quick ready homes in the $4-6 range.
 You can get more but you will have to wait longer for a sale.

 I want the Branson wrench, so its only worth 2 bucks.  heeheheheehh :)
