Review on πŸ”§ Astro Pneumatic Tool 78825 25-Piece Master Front Wheel Drive Bearing Puller Set with Grade 8 Drive Bolt by Matthew Baltimore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price for bearing puller

Has everything you would expect except for a 7/8" screw (wrench size 1 and 5/16"). This bolt is larger than most kits in this general price range (they are otherwise almost identical in the photos) and I applaud the people who managed to bend it in their reviews. 7/8 bolts have almost 40% more tensile strength than 3/4 bolts of the same brand and I'm sure you would only be more frustrated trying to turn a 3/4 bolt with a slightly cheaper kit. If your bearing is having trouble coming out, try tapping the knuckle with a hammer until the bolt is tight and snug. Often this is enough to even out the position for a few turns before it jams again and can relieve you and your tool. Remember to lubricate the screw (and washers) to prevent the threads from seizing. I use anti-loans. But a lube, or even an aerosol, is better than nothing. For the money this is a very good set. It can pay for itself in one use compared to going to the store to change a bearing. Thrust bearings can be added. Can be exchanged for a fine-thread screw. You can also add a gold bar and a margarita machine to the set. Improves all costs. For what I paid I don't think I could ask for a better kit. I'm happy with that; I would buy it again and recommend it.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Bad impression
