Review on Cal Van Tools 95400 Puller Master by Jeremy Carpenter

There is no better tool for pulling pins than a collet. The reason for this is that you have friction around the entire circumference of the pen. The vise only grips 2 small areas of the surface so they are unlikely to stay in place. I hated paying $150 to get 3 pins out but when they came out it was worth it. The only flaw is that the collets are designed to fail prematurely. There is no other way to express it.1. Collets are not as hard as they should be. No amount of grease will stop the bushing from digging in and forming a ring around it when you're done. You must tighten the sleeve or it won't hold.2. The sleeve that contacts the collet has a sharp edge rather than a flat mating surface, reducing digging. If you file (or drill) the end of the sleeve to make the surface smoother, the collet will no longer fit. A prime example of "planned obsolescence”. Designing a tool that fails prematurely.
