Review on 🔧 Efficient OTC 4531 Harmonic Balancer Puller and Installer Set: Ultimate Solution for Balancer Removal and Installation by Niranjan Reynolds

I was so happy when I received this set of pullers! It was an OTC set and I was willing to pay extra for the brand name. Received it quickly, saw it was shipped by Bosch Automotive so was itching to open the box! Opening the very nice case, I immediately saw where the milled slots in the main part (the puller itself) looked solid. chaotic. The ends of some of the slots appear to have been slightly milled in relation to the slots, and whatever tool was used for machining was of a very rough shape. At first I thought I had gotten a used item, but the ugly finish on the ends of the groove was completely covered by the puller finish, so it must have been the manufacturer's order. While I have no doubt the tool will do a great pulling job, there really is no excuse for that poorly machined puller to leave the factory. The unnamed pullers we have at work are well made and not hollowed out like this OTC part. A set of OTC pullers costs twice as much as no-name pullers, but it's possible they're all made on the same production line. The OTC set is back and I'm buying the untitled set for half price.
