3165: Braillie typewriter
3164 A shock/vibration absorbing mount. We've had one of these in the past.
3166 Wild guess... Based on similarity to tools used for clearing vents on old hot-water radiators, I guess that this is a tool to open/clear a vent associated with a steam boiler.
Posting from my desk top PC in the living room, as always.
3163, boat builders level? 3164, totally no clue. 3165, I have never seen one of these in person, and the owners and operators have also never seen one either. I'm about 99.9% sure I know what this is, but I'll withhold my guess, until I see what others write. My comments are enigmatic, so as not to blind others. Just scrolled down and saw the second picture, and now I'm 100% sure. 3166, not sure. I do believe that photography could be a bit better. 3167, not sure 3168 possibly PVC pipe cutter
I think it is for Braille, but specifically for communicating with someone who is also deaf: the deaf person reads the Braille, rather than the something getting embossed, which would require a mechanism to move the material being embossed in a controlled manner.
3163 Inclonometer (angle finder from level) 3165 Brail puncher. Used to make signs. NOt a typewriter, my wife brails for kids and it is a different typewriter. This would probably be used to make the elevator , or room number tiles.
3168 Pipe cutter or glass cutter for a bottle.
Number 3167 is a piston ring groove cleaner , 3163 is as someone above said an inclinometer , and 3168 is a PVC pipe cutter .

Agree :-)
After looking at 3168 again , I believe it is used to score terra cotta drain pipe .
Actually 3168 is a Presto Log cutter used to break the log into smaller pieces to get the fire started.

3163 - that's a little level on the slider, isn't it? Then the tool is for measuring the angle by which something is tilted off the horizontal or vertical, or could be used to place it at a chosen tilt.
3164 - for binding a place where a heavy cable has been spliced?
3165 - obviously for writing Braille manually.
I want a 3163. It measures the angle of tilt by sliding it around. Where used, I do not know...
Yes, that's what the owner said it was for.
Correct
Could be, I still don't know for sure.
3163: tiltmeter, probably used for determining the pitch of a roof
3164:shock mount (heavy-duty, lighter ones have rubber parts).
3165: Braille stylus/punch/embosser3166:wrench for stopcocks/gas valves?
3167: gage or cleaning tool for piston ring slots3168: portion control cutter, for compressed-wood firelogs
Inclinometer is right but I don't know if it was for a more specific purpose or not.
Several people have provided this answer, which is definitely correct. Thanks
That's a good link, thanks.
