Surprisingly Effective Automotive Puller

I was hesitant to purchase a puller for my automotive needs, but I caved and am so glad I did! Based on my observations the OTC Slide Hammer Puller is a game changer in terms of efficiency and ease of use. The PRODUCT easily removed stubborn parts, and seems to be highly durable... The only downside was that it was a bit on the pricey side, but it's worth the investment for those in need of a reliable puller..

Pros
  • Highly effective, durable product.
Cons
  • Slightly pricey.

Quality puller set tool

Great set. I overhauled a Volvo gearbox with it. I used it to push out the seals and bearing rings and then used a round socket to push the seals back in (handy size for me). Also used to pull the pilot bearing out of the engine crank. Parts of this tool look better live than the low res photos on the internet. A good thing.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
