My guess would be punches of some sort, but for what in what by whom I have no idea. 
They heading for the electrolysis bath?

They’re heading for the selling section, along with various tools and stuff that the hubby really doesn’t need anymore. Just need to get him to commit to a price (and letting them go.)
After all, do we really need two ‘vax’ vacuums stored away, along with (I believe) chimny sweeping brushes (we have no chimney).
We also have no room.

Sounds like it's not safe to let him out on his own.

We used to do car boot sales, and he’d be off refilling the van with purchases. Unfortunately he really can’t manage fixing things in his hut nowadays, and he has difficulty walking round the garden without falling over now, never mind selling at a car boot sale.
So, I’ve decided to declutter all this stuff he believes he’ll get working, or fix up to sell. I filled a black bag of tat, put it at the side of the house to take to the tip tomorrow. Saw him sneek over, and start emptying it of ‘useful’ things.

It looks like a Chinese chess set 
They look like a cross between punches and fluted cutters for countersinking and dovetailing.

your selling hubbys stuff or is it yours now
then again might as well get yourself some new tools with the proceeds
It is the hubby’s stuff, but in my defence, it’s stuff that has sat in boxes unused for years (as in 10 years), and we are running out of space.
Anyway, if I want to build a porch on to my little shed to let me work outside and stay dry, something has got to give.
May I also add, that when I reminded hubby yesterday that I would be ordering the bits to build my porch, he said “oh, I didn’t want to add to the sheds in the garden”. We have 4 plastic garden ‘cupboards’, one 3x5 shed, and a plastic garden chair storage box, all stuffed with useless junk (sorry, priceless tools) he doesn’t use.
All the plastic storage was meant to be temporary, while he sorted his mancave out.
Well, that day has come.
