Some of the part numbers yield brief descriptive information at

I'm thinking these are not so much "tools" as "parts" from a 7925
parts kit. The HP CEs or their field offices had sets of rigid
suitcases with cutout foam inserts loaded with field replaceable
parts, some being in plastic cases like the one shown in your picture.
If you needed a 7925 fixed the CE would show up with the 7925 parts
kit suitcase(s) in his station wagon. There were tools too but I
don't know whether they lived in different suitcases; it wasn't
uncommon for the CE to bring the suitcases in on a folding luggage
cart.
