A turnbuckle works under tension - it draws two opposite-threaded rods closer together by screwing them into a central barrel.
What is the name of a device that has a central rod, left-hand threaded on one end and right-hand threaded on the other end, which works under compression to force two nuts apart symmetrically?

Wouldn’t that just be a turnbuckle that you turned the other way?
The ends would need to be different.
Thats why wielders were invented.
Do they wield welders?
