The second pic shows hand removers from the same box of junk and jolly good they are too

The top tool in the first one is a depth gauge but I haven't used one yet. The second one escapes me...looks like something I would like to use on my mother in law... at the throat?!  But it could be something to check for balancing and trueing?

The last one is for removing hands. You can also use it for removing cannon pinons the sort that are hollow. Not sure of the second picture.

I only had a rude answer!

Second tool which looks like pliers is for checking the true of (balance) wheels.

I would go with

Watch Depthing tool which is used to work out the correct distance from a wheel to a pinion and then to transfer this measurement to the plate for drilling the pivot holes.

Plyer shaped Poising Calipers as rodabod has stated for checking the true of a balance wheel

 

The last tool I thought was for removing cannon pinions, but my book tells me its for removing rollers, but I guess it would work for hands and cannon pinions too.

Depthing tool and truing pliers pictures are from 'Watch and Clockmakers Handbook Dictionary and Guide by Britten, other is from Watch and Clock Making and Repairing by W J Gazeley, both very useful books for identifiying tools and how to use them.
