What the hell are these things

[1930]

Apparently one wasnt enough for this guy, all 3 marked Mac SC 105 Google and E-bay are not helping identify. 3/8 drive and impact sockets of some sort?

How about these, I did add better pictures later in this thread.

[1930]

Made by Industro. Spring loaded lever pushes out what looks like a feeler gauge which comes out of a socket end. The other end has two little tangs with a hole in the center.

Any ideas on this one?

Your five threaded "thumb screws" look an awful lot like adapters for a clutch alignment tool.
Do you have another piece with a threaded hole that these fit?

Lower left, could this be a valve tool?

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

Top: Not sure why he collected these ( what I call ) thumbscrews. There may be more out there.

Can someone confirm that the lower left tool is indeed a battery tool?

I don't think it is - what do you think it can do to a battery?

It is a bearing press. I have a similar one that attaches to one of my pullers.

Weird, the design is like a pitman puller, but that wimpy handle isn't gonna work for that.

I do not think I did, other people raided the tool box that I own now before I got to it so who knows.

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.

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

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

Maybe a little different?

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

I should use a scale of some sort

[turnnut]

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

Can anyone provide a picture of the pullers assembled, maybe then I can pinpoint the missing pieces.

Hope this helps for a couple of the Items you have, see link below

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...
