small bushings, what is use/purpose?

[paulm12]

Doing some summer cleaning and found these again. They came with some old toolboxes I got earlier this year. Anyone know the purpose? Thanks.

They look like seal/bushing driver tools. There would be a driver handle for them.

Look like drill bushings to me. If you're not sure what that is.... you can use them for templates made from softer material like say aluminum and you'll drill you primary hole and use these to reduce to the size drill you actually need. It saves wear and tear in the template and provides a trurer bore.

But they could be for something else too, just saying

Funny thing is I have a few sets they get used mostly to pull of push in press or threaded rod to pull out. I do not think I have used a handle, except as an extension to press on.
Totally useless if you do not do press work a god send if you do. I saves taking out the lathe and making one to fit.

Keep them around for bushing removal, you do not need a press to make good use of them.....see picture #3.
