The jaws are too thick to fit between the steering box and the opener.

Very strong except for two turnbuckles tightening the levers. They stretch and are made of inferior metal. The jaws are too thick to fit between the steering box and connecting rod on my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. I replaced the two turnbuckles with 8 degree calipers and was able to apply enough force to disengage the crank from the steering box.

Pros
  • While satisfied
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great tool for the money!

I had another tie rod puller that I literally broke in half trying to untie an old Isuzu Trooper. I ordered this one and to my surprise it not only held up and ripped off the handle but didn't even slip off due to the extra adjustments! This is despite the fact that I used a 24" breaker and pulled so hard that I broke the breaker! I recommend this pickup to everyone!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Legacy model

Has a thrust washer/bearing, nobody else seems to have one.

This thing is gross, I rented one from AutoZone and was so impressed with the quality that I decided to buy it. What sets this puller apart from many others is the thrust washer/bearing at the end of the thread. A lot of other well known higher priced pullers like OTC don't have any thrust washer or bearings whatsoever and I find that absolutely silly. I recommend replacing the two pinch bolts with Grade 8 as I have rolled them like Tootsey Rolls in the past. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Little things

Savior!: Special puller

I have a car with a unique suspension system (Toyota SuperStrut) The camber lever needs to be pushed out of the steering rack. The connection point is over 2.5 inches in diameter. Toyota requires a special service tool, 09628-62011, which will cost several hundred dollars if you can even find one. for 3/4 ton trucks) was not large enough for the connection in question. I bought this tool instead of SST. The quality of the instrument is high. It's quite heavy and well made. It's easy to use…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Modernity
