OK, here you go.

The Moto Wheel Balancer, looks like it's hand made by a guy in Errington BC, googled it but nothing came up.





Looks like he used a center punch to assist with holding the bearings into the aluminum wheel and stop them spinning.


The new Channel lock pliers/cutters for removing old wheel weights.



In the last picture you can see the smaller axle still in it's holder just behind the horizontal round support cross member.

Too dark for pictures of the Parts Washer, as it's outside now.

Very nice looking balancer. The center punch method is called staking I believe.

which included drill rod, maybe 10-15 or so, what are they for?

Drill rods are precision ground bar stock, useful for most anything round, depending on diameter. I keep a stock of O1 drill rod for small pieces. It can be hardened (and drawn) or used as it is. O1 is easily machined, can be made into cutting tools for wood work, among other things. They usually come in standard sizes, fractional or metric, nominally 36" long.
