KATSU Two Jaw Gear Bearing Puller Ultra Thin Claws 3 Inch 75mm, Carbon Steel Mini 2 Arms Special Thin Claws Car Engine Repair Belt Wheel Gear Bearing Extractor Removal Tool 450461

Nice little bit of kit! I purchased the 3 inch option to remove some stubborn window wiper arms, it worked really well, removal was simple. Got them off in a heartbeat. I had very little room around my cowl so I slid it around from the opposite side. Great value for money when you compare it with the other options available on the market that seems to bend easily. This is pretty sturdy and the bar to turn the screw is made from decent metal. No doubt I'll end up using this for a bearing or two in the future, so a useful tool to have in the box.

I would say this is better than I expected. I used it to remove a gear from a M32 gearbox and ground some material away so it would fit between the great and bulk ring.The jaws held fine and removed the gear with some pretty heafty force applied. The top bar was starting to bend but the puller legs were on the very end so probably more than it was designed for.For the price, worth the money.

First class product

Says “German Style” all over the box, is from a company called Katsu (Japanese sounding) and is made in China. Nice looking metal. No chrome bling, all self coloured or blacked steel. Works as intended, nice in the hand and seems well finished. Made easy work of its first task so happy at this process

This is ok but beware it will only do small gears it is no good for my needs I wanted one to pull the flywheel off a lawn mower but it's way to small for that and with it fitting through the letter box should give away the size

I needed to remove the wiper arms on a Skoda Superb, having removed dozens of arms over the years I never need a puller before, but these they were particularly stubborn. So I bought a puller (locally) designed specifically for wiper arm removal, it bent (pressed steel design jaw opened) and the arm did not budge.Oh well I thought, I can do better, so I whipped out the welder and fabricated my own puller using 50mm angle with a 5mm wall and an M12 nut and bolt. Appling more torque then I was really happy with to the bolt, and the 5mm thick wall on my homespun puller bent - and the arm still didn't budge.Left it alone for a few days and got this puller from amazon, result? Absolutely, both arms off within 10 minutes of opening the box :-)A neat little pullers which will remain a welcome addition alongside my regular bulkier, heavy duty ones. If I would make any criticism it would be that the ball inserts to retain the legs on the cross slide use detent springs that are so weak as to render the balls useless. They provide zero resistance or holding ability for the legs, but really it’s of no consequence and does not affect the pullers use in any way - Highly recommended.

The only reason I have knocked off a star is that the ‘hooks’ are a little beefy and can be a problem to squeeze in behind whatever you wish to pull off. Otherwise nicely made and works well.

Make no mistake - this is quite a small puller.I bought it so that I could remove the factory-fitted grooved pulley wheel from the spindle of a washing machine motor. It's part of a plan to re-use the motor to power a home-made fume extraction unit for workshop welding.The pulley was factory press-fitted and the motor had been sitting in a damp garage for over 10 years, so the pulley wheel was on good and tight, more so with the help of a bit of rust.The arms have quite small lips for catching under the edges of the pulley, so I found it helped to stop them from slipping off by holding them shut with some mole grips / vice grips. This also gave me a lever to help with the twisting motion. The removable handle is also quite small, so I replaced it with a second pair of mole grips.The device stood up very well to the extra leverage - no distortion or damage - and the casting is sufficiently hard that during the pulley removal the shaft thread managed to tap a thread into the bore of the pulley wheel! In other words, this is quite a hard material - certainly harder than the pulley wheel steel.No problems recommending this product - it seems it will do the job and take a bit of abuse as well.
