Review on 🔧 Shankly 5 Ton Bearing Pullers: Ultimate Bearing Puller Set and Separator Kit by Sean Patel

I used this to separate the bearing from the spindle on a small lathe. Since I had a small press, I needed a base plate. I think that while it's reasonable value for its price, it won't prove to be a long-lasting tool. I attach several pictures for the size. This tool uses metric dimensions. The studs and nuts for the larger plate are M12-1.5. The smaller plate uses M10-1.0 bolts and nuts. Minimum. In the product I received they were so loose you could see them tilt as you screwed them onto the threaded shanks. Fingers crossed I went with him and he failed. My first attempt at using them resulted in the nuts coming off the shaft under pressure, which is 100% unacceptable for a product like a bearing puller. I replaced them all. As for the struts, that in itself was a missed opportunity, they had to re-thread the smaller plate threads and make them the same size, requiring a smaller nut. The panels themselves, 3" and 2" are not exactly true to size. The large panel has a maximum opening of 2 1/2 inches measured at the widest point of the bend, the panel is fully open and the nuts are flush with the tops of the studs. Apparently I got the shorter lugs as a free downgrade. The maximum bore of the smaller plates, again measured at the nuts that are flush with the top of the studs and measured at the widest point of the curved bore, is 2 5/16. Pros and Cons: It's cheap. You may have to spend an extra ten dollars to replace the nuts with good hardened versions. If you do light pull work from time to time, this might work. However, this is a light mode and not a production class.
