I'll say its for adding guy lines to a pole that is already installed, or possibly for hanging pipe in a noncommercial setting. Slip on, give it a half turn or so, add wire to an anchor, and lock the set screws...

What size is the gap/opening?

those look like a wrench I mentally designed to tighten two threaded fittings into each other. Thought I was very clever until I realized it could only be taken back off after precisely 1, 2, 3, etc. full revolutions, not just wherever the fittings became tight.

In other words, :dunno:

Are there any markings on them?

Those are to be used on a
Henway!

I was trying to remember that one. It has been so long since I used it, maybe 1970s. :)

. . . "A hen weighs about 3 lbs."


Others, I used to go the USAF depot and order some "prop wash," and also "a can of grid leak bias." :)
Of course that was right after performed Hurricane Watch in Biloxi MS.

Weren't those used to pull fan blades or pulleys off fractional hp motors?

I think we have a winner!
Opening slips over the shaft, setscrews anchor the bottom half. Unscrew the the top half, it pushes the fan off. Can't use a conventional puller because the fins are too densely packed.

Cat in the hat logic, what isn't it?

Not a mark on it, and they are close but not identical, so maybe not a product.

The handle/loop portion doesn't look like its made for much force, torque or tension, so I am thinking its just a handle to turn the threaded sections.

Both parts have same size cutout, but only one has set screws. Why two?

Wear shows the C nuts were threaded all the way together, but I see no consequence to them being threaded together, which suggests missing part.

*** Its for removing something. Slip over a post or wire or cable, whatever, tighten set screws, the unscrew the two nuts to push something.

Why do the "handles" need to rotate, its part of the design, so likely part of the use.

Prop wash usually came in a bucket, it is always good to have a couple hundred feet of chow line on hand.

So I see the puller logic. Are the openings for each 1/2 and 5/8"? That would be the most common sized motor shafts.

Two setscrews to insure grep on the shaft.

Ok, I think that would be it. :thumbup: Outlaw, they are actually both 1/2". One is just thicker/longer than the other. I googled every possible thing I could think of to find one of these and came up with nothing. I sure would like to know the proper name for them.
