Auction find - what is it?

This came with a heavy pneumatic press. Not sure what it does or if even belonged with the press. Anyone have a clue what it is?

Bearing splitter. Comes apart so you can slip it over a shaft behind a bearing and pull it off or press it off.

A bearing seperator, used one many times, both in a press or out in the field. The threaded holes are for puller rods that go to a strongback, with a porta-power jack in between, for field use. If you google it you will see many photos of one in use.

That is a finger smasher. Done it many times.

Bearing puller.

Nice looking bearing splitter. Hasn't been abused from what I can see. You did good.

It's an OTC (Owatana Tool Company) splitter, made in Owatana MN. OTC makes a line of them and two and three finger pullers. They also make an extensive line of specialty tools for auto, motorcycle and truck mechanics.

Wow...something I can actually use! Appreciate the info!

One thing is Don't use an air wrench on it. Just use a regular socket wrench. My neighbor chewed the dickens out of the threads on his. Great tool !

Problem is you have to have a space in back of the bearing for it to fit into. Only time I tried to use one the bearing did not have room behind it for the tool to fit into.
