768 Look like they might be a pair of faucet reamers... used to remove scratches from faucet seats... but that can't be right because there is no reason for the grooves inside the cones.
772 the hook looks like a thatch hook used to pull Burning Thatch from houses with a thatch roof.
768 ... looks like a tool for sharpening and cleaning the end of (metal) tubes, i.e. for soldering. or, maybee, for cleaning the inner of water taps, the seating of the rubber washer (ooops, right words?). the sliding cones are to fit to different diameters.
771 ... handgrenade? ... boooommm ... it IS not a handgrenade, it WAS a handgrenade ;-)
772 ... the hook is used to pull burning material, or to pull persons out of the fire ??? the 5:00 - 11:00 looks like the mouth of the "waterjet" (oops, right words again?)please forgive my bad english

768 faucet reamers 769 clutch alignment tool? 770 ? 771 ? 772 ? 773 staple remover
768: Case trimmer and reamer for brass shell cases
769: Case shaper for brass shell cases
770: Primer punch for < see above>
771: Tear gas grenade
772: The symbol's are for spray heads the hook is for tearing out wall = board to get to hot spots
773: A small rubber band stretcher Puff
771: portable oxygen tank? Randy
768 Hose bibb/faucet seat cutter. Use to recondition the seat on washer style faucets.
770 Dashpot of some type? (small spring loaded shock absorber)
771 Round and that color of green? I'm guessing little medical oxygen tank.771 looks like the old style road flares.
771. Tear gas cannister used inside some olde tyme safes to drive away safecrackers.

768 - Faucet valve seat cutter - reconditions damaged valve seats
771 - Portable oxygen bottle - (?)
772: The 2 to 8 device is a megaphone to assist the incident commander in shouting orders to firefighters - nowadays they use radiosThe 5 to 11 is a nozzle (for the end of the fire hose)
The 'hook thing' is a 'ceiling hook' to pull down burning ceiling or roof material so it can be extinguished and not contribute to fuel. Many fire service tools are multi use - this one is also used to hoist a hose, steady a ladder, move electrical wires, etc.

Looks like a LOX container. With a bit of effort it could serve as your suggestion ;)

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as usual.
For those who have been following it in these threads, my wife is home from the hospital (Tuesday), and is getting stronger every day. Thanks for your concern.
Now to the guesses and firm identifications:
768) Tools for re-seating valve faces in faucets. One for flat faced vales, one for conical ones -- to match available washers.The sliding cones are used to center the shaft in the faucet body, so the valve facing is properly at right angles to the valve stem.
769) O.K. It sort of looks like a clutch plate centering tool except that the mushrooming at the bottom (the knurling *must* have been put on before the mushrooming) suggests that it has been used to drive things instead.So -- I will say that it is used to drive bushings into (and out of) equipment.
770) Connector pin extraction tool. Probably for the Molex brand, as the color and design looks right for that. The pins are crimped onto wires before being inserted into the connectors, and they lock there until a tool like this is used to remove them.If it had knurling on the handle, and if there were something visible just inside the open end, I would have suggested a hand-operated wire-wrap tool instead.
771) The green suggests oxygen -- perhaps a pilot's bail-out bottle, though the ones which I used to have were a bit more oblong. It is missing the demand regulator, however.But it *might* be insecticide, or a fire extinguisher container instead.
772) The 5:00-11:00 one appears to be the nozzle for the fire hose.The 2:00-8:00 one might be a fogger nozzle, or it might be a strainer for the pick-up end when pumping from a nearby pond or other water source of opportunity.
The hook is probably for pulling down burning wall materials to generate a path to victims who need rescuing.
All speculation, as I am not a firefighter.
773) Hmm ... quality of construction is about that of hand-held hole punches and such from the office supply store, so let me guess that its function is one of the following two -- depending on how tight a fit the tongue has in the slot.a) A staple-less stapler. It cuts the paper on either side of the tongue, and folds it under to hold the paper sheets together.
b) A staple extractor. (Not a very good one, if so.)
End of my guesses -- now to see what others have stated.
Enjoy, DoN.
According to Alexander Thesoso :
For fitting over the threads on a faucet which has a bonnet type of cap (the older style) to hold it on and concentric to guide the shaft of the reamer.
Enjoy, DoN.
770. Is either a connector pin insertion/extraction tool OR a wire wrap, un-wrapper...

769 looks like a tubing flaring punch used with a flaring vise.
768. Faucet seat reamers/dressers
769. Tool for swaging copper pipe and light conduit. Different from flaring. Makes a straight coupling between two pieces of pipe.
771. Looks like some sort of canister or grenade.
772. Aren't they nozzles for fire hoses? hook is called a pike pole and was originally used for pulling burning thatch off of roofs during the 1600's and 1700's. Still used by firefighters today for pulling down burning ceiling and roof materials.
773. Pliers for applying some sort of clip or ring.
