Default Auction Won - Name That Tool

I was bidding at an auction today and won two of these. See attached photo. The bid title described the items, but no other details were in the descriptions. After a quick search on my phone to confirm, I put in the initial bid on both at $4 each. No idea why I bid anything, but to my surprise I won both. Yep, for a total of $8.

I had to go into my way back machine to even remember seeing one while dropping something off for repair and going in the shop to watch the process a bit.

Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to see how many other people know what these are.

A wild guess - I've seen an apparatus that looks similar to this that's used for steam bending wood, like what you'd use to make wood wheels.

Looks like a complex version of a leaf buggy-spring spreader. The one Dad had for Model A Fords was very simple.

Well, don't feel bad, I didn't know either until I read the description title and confirmed online. Here you go....

120 100152 Radiator Puller - Radiator Puller 1 $3.00 $0.45 $0.25 $3.70
123 100152 Radiator Puller - Radiator Puller 1 $3.00 $0.45 $0.25 $3.70
124 100152 Rolling Cart/Parts - Rolling Cart/Parts 1 $3.00 $0.45 $0.25 $3.70

I was a little off on price, $3.00 plus 15% auction fee and tax was $3.70 each. I also won a tool cart loaded with fittings/tools/radiator caps/ect for another $3.70.

You can see one of these radiator pullers in action in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w36zxJWCgGk

I just loaded them onto my trailer an hour ago and it took about all I had to move them around by myself. Not touching them again until I unload tomorrow.... heavy mofo's.... Not sure what I'll do with them in my shop, but I'll find a use

If I only knew when to quit. By the time this auction was over I filled my pickup/ trailer and emptied my wallet.
