🔧 Mechanical 7-Ton 'Grip-O-Matic' Long 2/3-Jaw OTC 1038 Puller Review

Ended up having some serious problems trying to remove the front rotors from my Mazda 3. Even with this tool it took 3 days, a 5lb hammer and lots of PB blaster to finally get them out of the car. Twist, spray and pump. I just wish 5 pounds held up better :)

This is a large and durable fine thread tool. I bought this to remove a wheel hub from an old snapper mower. Nothing else worked and I destroyed my old puller trying to pull it off. This kid went there right away. The price seems a little high but it works great.

Please fix this and I'll give 5 stars. I recommend this puller when you need a large, heavy puller for high force applications. I have several OTC tools and I…

I had to remove the flywheel from my Kawasaki V-Twin to access the breather cover. There are ways to do this without a puller, but they can damage the parts. So I bought it to "work by the book". I have to say it was very smooth as there was a slight ping and the flywheel was free after a few turns of the screw. But that's why I bought it. I WANTED an accident free removal with no damage to the flywheel, crankshaft, body panels. Here's what I have. I don't have to remove the flywheel often so I
