Default What are these tools?

I got a lot of tools from the builder when I bought my -4. As I've made my way through the stash, I've been able to identify most of them. I found these in the "Air Tools" drawer. Any idea what they are?
Thanks!
Randy

Wild guess here, but they remind me of the internal mandrels we used when putting new ends on hard line fire hose.

Looks like you have 4 different sizes---------could be they are for making up fuel/oil/hydraulic hoses??

Yep, Mr Google says they are indeed that

Yup. Those are the mandrels for building Aeroquip 303 or Stratoflex 111 hoses.
