Title: What the hell are these things
Post by: 1930 on August 30, 2014, 12:00:41 PM
 :grin:

I should know the 2 things farthest left, I have see them before but maybe when I did see them before I didnt have a clue what they were.

Middle thing same as above

Farthest right is a Kent Moore tool 33081 B Google says its a cam tool but the picture given does not match my item.

Thanks

Two items on the left are the center section of a two jaw puller.

The two leftmost look like parts of pullers to me (but I've been correctly so much of late I'm fully expecting someone will come along and protest they're a hamburger press instead  :cheesy:)

The tool to the right has a mate on Ebay.  The auction description states it is a "Advanced Cam Plug Seal Installer"

Are you sure they are not tuning forks, they do make a very nice ring.

I would say the two items on the left are the center sections of two different two jaw pullers, but maybe I've never seen a puller design that uses both of those parts together.  The second from left looks like a variation of a steering wheel puller - bolts go through the slots into a threaded bit on the wheel; these are useful for far more than just steering wheels.

Third from the left is, as International3414 indicates, a stud remover, clamping down on the stud to pull it and destroying the exposed stud threads in the process.

The one at the right's a mystery to me.

Right side patent number 3, 807,530 I get nothing using google

Take a bolt - 3/8" would be about right, from  the photo - and insert it in one of the holes, from the bottom (the bottom being the side visible in your photo).  Then use the female drive on top to move the knurled wheel into the bolt.  With a little experimentation, you'll see which way it would need to be set up to clamp onto a stud.  You then just exert pressure with a square drive handle of some kind until the stud comes out (or breaks off below the surface, always fun).

There's another design that uses a wedge.  This design's easier to use, when you have the (not inconsiderable) room needed to make it work.

No certain idea on the new stuff you posted, but the puller looking thingie is for some light-duty pull.  Not sure exactly, although given the tie rod adjuster that you've posted on another thread, I'd wonder if this is some kind of puller-remover for tie rod ends or similar parts.  But I'm speculating like a Dutch tulip buyer here.

OOPS looks like the  tapered shoulder screws are solid head not socket head as I  first  thought.  Still could be used with puller. The puller X pieces shown have vertical pieces that are used to pull with and a screw goes in ctr and bears against the ctr of what ever you are trying to pull the other thing from.  The vertical pieces can have a hook on end that goes behind the pullee or some special end that takes the pictured screws that .are screwed into the pullee.  pulee is my  concoction cause I don't know what other word to use- could be a hub or pulley.  Chuck Garrett

The two deals on the right are I am guessing impact gun heads? Ive had alot of guns but never broken a head to the point of no use so not sure why he would have these spares ( assuming my guess is right )

Lower left and upper left I have no clue

Lower left has a removable pin from the center

on the 5 threaded studs,  I do not know what size they are, but I have a couple sets
that look sort of like yours.

mine screws into the side post batteries to attach my battery charger clamps to.
each set has two sizes to represent positive & negative.

are the threads on yours the size of a side post screw ?

I found some more, now I have 3 different sizes, they are heavy/bulky items but they are all the same thread size/pitch. Largest head dim measures 1 inch and the smallest 5/8

Im guessing that these bits all fit some sort of socket just like the bit on the farthest right fit into that particular Mac socket.

I have a few of the ones that I show farthest right and they all have the same end that goes down into the socket where as the row farthest left have just a little notch cut out of the bottoms and the two in the middle have nothing more than a dimple in the end.

But again I am assuming they are all the same tools?

Does that sound right?

Last 3 are like the sockets for removing the float valve from a carburator, it goes in the slotted ring, but these look bigger, so for something with the same setup but bigger...

Edit float valve/valve seat, bigger ones may fit the long needle valve seat on updraft...?

These look like impact sockets, about 2 inches long and maybe 3/4 across, does that still qualify?

Maybe this will help

You are correct, I found a few Proto 9525 and google told me screw extractor, so I added screw extractor to the Mac E-6 and I found the same tools as screw extractors. This guy must have broken alot of screws, I do not believe the ends were twisted when new.

Yes they are 1/2 inch, thanks for the confirmation. Never had the impacts apart.

I picked up this KD 2291 today at the flea for 3 dollars. I can say for sure that I did not see the missing parts within the pieces I had picked thru.

This 2291 is listed on E-bay as a steering wheel/dampener puller.

Heres a couple more shots, maybe these will help. The forks are beveled so maybe they are made to slip under something like a battery terminal and screw down the screw to pull the terminal free.

I do not think press cause as Rusty said the handle is pretty wimpy. Length of handle is 4 inches if that helps size it up.

I also think it is a battery cable lifter,  they do not need much pressur at all,
somewhere I have one that is sorta like that,  I have a few of the old long handle type
that works the same way.

the screw will not move the battery post, the cable will lift 1st.

A Delco distributor tool for early model Chevy 6 cylinder engines.

Maybe a little different?

I also think it is a battery cable lifter,  they do not need much pressur at all,
somewhere I have one that is sorta like that,  I have a few of the old long handle type
that works the same way.

the screw will not move the battery post, the cable will lift 1st.

Amecks is the originator of this theory. I never would have guessed myself.

I think Frank is right also, your newer pictures totally changed how I saw the tool.  I was imagining it bigger.

the tool that 1930 posted and we thought that it was a top post battery cable lifter.

that is correct.

Rose tool catalogs.  Craftsman 1968 shows the exact one, it was called battery terminal lifter $2.19

If the "thumbscrews"  are lug nut sized, they may be for pulling/pushing brake drums.
(screw them into the hub flange so you have something to push/hammer on)
Three would be the right number sometimes...
