The use of these tools are to give the user a 'feel' for how the shape of a surface/face changes. This can include showing where there are convex and concave regions or where a surface/face changes from one convexity to another. It can also show the values of the minimum and maximum radius and by using the sliders you can determine where these areas of min/max occur. If you're looking the precise radius at some arbitrary point, this is what the 'Local Radius' tool can do.
