What are these?

We have had allot of snow the last couple days so I have been working on organizing my tool box. There is one drawer full of stuff I don't recognize. here is a few items I am wondering about.

Thanks for the help

the one in your hand is a stud puller, the brass ones look like a custom puller, the star wheels look like replacement blades for the tool I use to get the old dried buffing compound out of my buffs, Keith

The two items on the right are AC clutch pullers. The star wheel items look like the cutters from a grinding wheel dressing tool. two items on the left ??? dunno?

I meant to add that the one I am holding in my had says for "hand use only" The guy I got the box from was a small engine mechanic btw.

The one socket is a stud puller,(might be from Napa) and like it reads only use a ratchet not intended for any impact use.

Yes indeed the one that looks like a cowboy spur is used for a grinding wheel dressing tool.

so you just slide them over a stud and start turning?

What you have is a Chinese finger torture toy...Kind of like the Adams Family when the children give the toy to a guest and they tell that person to put their fingers into both ends! The moment you move your fingers the toy tightens and soon both your hands are snared,fun,fun,fun! In this case the three rollers are just putting pressure on the stud (fingers) and when you turn the socket the stud will also turn.

The pullers look like A/C clutch pullers, but, since you mentioned that the tools came from a small engine repairman, they are probably for pulling flywheels.

There should be a wedge that goes into the hole on the side. That part locks onto the stud when you turn the tool.

The silver ones are stud extractors. They work like a sprag clutch with internal rollers and ramps, when put over a properly sized stud and turned CCW, they tighten up and spin the stud. The harder you turn the higher the gripping force. These are great items, they don't tear up the surface of smooth-shanked studs the way pliers, vice grips or the serrated cam-style extractors do

The gold ones appear to be pulley or a/c clutch removal tools. These screw into the front of the clutch assemblies, you turn the bolt and they pull the clutch plate off.

The star and washer stack is a refill for a grinding wheel dressing tool. These are hardened pieces that chip off the glaze that forms on grinding wheel faces. Start the grinder and press the tool into the wheel face. The toothed wheels finely chip the wheel surface, removing glazed abrasive as well as built-up metal residue.

I don't like using any form of stud removal tool unless forced to by a broken stud. Two nuts locked on to each other have always worked just fine for me. once locked, use the bottom nut to unscrew the stud. If that won't do it, you need heat or penatrant
