Ok, I have something. No clue how easy or difficult it is, but it's from the kitchen and I'm sure it's something most people would consider extremely useless (but it's cool for one specific thing).

It looks like something to scrape out the insides of coconuts. You know, to make them lighter so that they can be carried about by swallows.
Yep, exactly. Makes peeling a pineapple so much less messy than using a knife. 
No clue, sorry.
^Looks like some sort of clamp used to fit two pieces of wood together -but then again, the image doesn't really say much.

The ones with teeth are known as scutch bits, and are used destructively. eg, breaking down concrete, or removing the plaster/rendering from walls.
Those without teeth are best suited to do neat work: cracking/shaping bricks and stone into wanted shapes and sizes.

Alright, I'll try another one. Hopefully it won't be as obvious, but you people have some strange pockets of knowledge around here!
