Stud Puller Appraisal

4-Piece Stud Puller Wrench Set

This item is a 4-piece stud puller wrench set, likely designed for automotive or machinery repair. The set is housed in a compact, unlidded metal case with molded compartments for each tool. The overall construction appears to be chromed or polished steel, indicating durability and resistance to corrosion. The case itself shows signs of wear, including scuffs and possibly some minor surface rust or discoloration consistent with use in a workshop environment. The interior of the lid features a printed instruction sheet, visible in multiple languages (English, German, and French are partially decipherable), detailing how to use the stud puller. This sheet includes diagrams showing the removal process. The set includes four distinct stud puller sockets, each clearly marked with its size: 7/13, 3/8, 5/16, and 1/4. These markings suggest fractional inch sizing, common in many mechanical applications. One of the compartments appears to contain loose nuts or bolts, which are not part of the original stud puller set but are likely stored there by the user. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced mechanic's tools, emphasizing functionality and robustness over aesthetic refinement. There are no obvious maker's marks visible on the tools themselves, though the packaging might have contained branding. Based on the style and typical market for such tools, it likely dates from the latter half of the 20th century, possibly 1970s-1990s.
