What is this tooling?

If you can't tell? Matters not WHAT they are.

They are of no use to you.

Man is the tool making animal.

Tools don't have the least klew how to make a man. Good servants. Poor Masters, tools are.

Learn and understand first. That part is free for the effort.

Buy what you understand later. Even outright junk is seldom "free".

I recently was scrolling through auction sights looking to pick up some used tool holders for my lathe and came across these. Are they any good and how do they work? Below is the link to the listing

I've seen those interchangeable tip for boring bars, but never that style. Like said above^^^^ special toolpost, etc.
Sandvik makes some of those carbide inserted drills.

That is Coromant BTS, it was Sandvik's quick change system for turning tools, alongside Varilock, all before Capto was invented, so that would date it to the '80's through '90's. All well obsolete.

20 years ago they were common enough on Ebay, not anymore.

Thanks for the info. It doesn't take long for state of the art to fall away any more.
