They can be used for bending banking pins but cleverly someone photograph them in such a way that we barely see the number. They appear to be identical to the ones made by Bulova specifically for bending a pin found in a tuning fork watch. Found a picture online it's not the best but it should give you a clue.

Those are for bending banking pins. Usually in a set of 12 different sizes. The idea is you can bend the pin over, then straighten it; the curve is in theory to allow doing this with the balance in place but that just doesn't work.

Thanks NS.  I will try on an old movement
