Bearing Driver Set

This image displays a collection of multiple bearing drivers, which appear to be part of a set for installing or removing bearings. Each individual driver is cylindrical in shape, varying slightly in diameter and length, suggesting they are designed for different bearing sizes. They are constructed from a robust metal, likely steel, given their dark, almost black, finish which is consistent with treated or hardened tool steel. Many of the drivers feature a knurled grip pattern on their exterior surfaces, intended to enhance user grip during operation. The knurling appears to be in good condition with clear, crisp patterns, indicating reasonable care or moderate use. Some drivers exhibit visible markings or etchings, such as "B-202" and "W-11" as seen in the cropped images, which likely denote part numbers, sizes, or possibly the manufacturer. While many pieces are visible, it's difficult to determine if this is a complete set. The overall condition appears to be used but functional; there are no obvious signs of severe damage such as heavy dents, fractures, or significant rust. Some light scuffs or wear marks are discernible, typical of mechanic's tools that have seen practical application. The dark finish also helps to conceal minor imperfections. These tools are likely from a contemporary period, given their common design in automotive or machinery repair sectors; there are no distinguishing features that suggest a vintage or antique origin. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for industrial-grade tools, prioritizing durability and functionality over elaborate aesthetics.
