This came from an old service station...
« on: November 11, 2013, 01:35:32 AM »
I just got this set of tools that originally came from an old service station. Looks like a couple small wheel/gear pullers. I would love some help identifying the rest.

Top right - second down - the smaller puller looks like it may be a battery terminal puller.

I believe they are both pullers for generator bearings. It might work for battery cable though.

Thanks for the replies. So the consensus is that Bob is right? Do you guys know if it is a complete set and what the value may be? I would like to sell it since I have no use for it.

You only have pieces used to adapt and clamp a unit to a fixture that is usually fastened solid to a bench.
We had one at an electrical shop I worked at that was made up of old lathe parts so it could be adjusted
in four directions to align the belt to the drive motor.
A lot of those pieces can be used to fabricate something else.

Battery cable pullers usually have a "pad," like a C-clamp, so you don't damage the battery post.  The jaws are also spring-loaded, so you can get it placed quickly and yank the cable end from the post efficiently.
