What is this?

A splitter of some sort.

Looks like a press of some sort?

It looks like it’s supposed to clamp around something and use the shorter bolt to press it through the hole in the back plate. I have no clue what you would actually use it for.

T thought maybe a puller of some sort

Clearly “homemade.” Likely used to remove a bearing from an axle shaft.

I found it in the stuff I got from welding shop auction. If that helps any

Steering wheel puller?

It's a puller. It could be used for what ever it fits. A gear, sprocket, bearing or pulley. I have about eight pullers of various configurations and sizes. You can never have too many.

Puller most likely, but (I think) it could also be a chain breaker. Although that would be one big chain....

It removes the orifice from inside of a Falange valve.

All excellent possibilities for use

It is a puller of some sort, likely a condition where it can't get inside the part.

Or behind it.

So they clamp it by the OD.

I have that Harbor Freight set. It actually works well.

I think you've put your phalange on it!

 

[JTKub]

It might be my company's new dental plan?

 

[CalG]

It looks EXACTLY like the tool I could use to pull the empellor off it's shaft on the Kubota snow blower, "nearly" all in pieces in my shop.

What size is the hole in the split clamp part?

 

[Happy in NC]

1 1/8"

First thought that came to my mind was a press/puller for "U"joints (aka crossjoints).
