the first tool is pretty obvious, it's a third hand. Used mostly for soldering, but handy for painting small stuff, that kind of thing.

The second pic needs some explanation; the alt belt on my pickup was slipping, it went on so long that eventually the pulley was worn very smooth, so I built a "bow" with a piece of wood and a section of an old fan belt (small side out) wrapped with 180grit emery cloth. The device can then be used to scuff up the pulley so the belt gets good traction. Worked like a charm

(and the wooden stick in the picture is a lever to help get proper tension.)
