OTC (1035) Mechanical Grip-O-Matic Puller - 7 Ton, 2 Jaw (Reversible Jaws)

well made. a tool to last a lifetime.

I bought this tool thinking it was bigger, the size got me at first. The more I used it though I found out just how versatile this little puller really is. It can fit in very tight places and grab a lot. I especially like using this tool for any stuck ball joint. I bought the 7 ton version for bigger jobs and together they make a good team. With this puller I haven’t used power tools on it and I’ve had no problems. Good tool for a good price.

A lot of pullers on the market do not list their jaw thickness and such and it is difficult to tell how large they really are until after you've spent an arm and a leg on one only to find out it won't do the job. I was trying to remove a counter gear bearing on my manual transmission which sat 2mm from another gear. Other gear pullers that I tried were just too big or too small and flimsy or had too thick of jaws to get a grasp on the bearing. This one was able to grab hold of it and pull it off. It seems solid and well built too!

Smaller than expected seems well built but I would question that 2 ton pulling capability. Seems a bit small for such a great amount of pulling. This did not work out for me at all, according to the description I was expecting a bigger puller for me to pull my pinion flange. Only one star off because it wasn't what I was expecting but the tool overall seems to be pretty well made.

It popped my steering wheel without to much tension. The trick is finding the right size spacer bushing that sets up under the business end of the threaded rod. I used a 1/4 inch drive shallow wall socket. The surprise comes when the wheel finally releases!I also picked up the MotorCraft SW 5928 Cruise Control Switch and needed this puller to pop off the steering wheel. The dealer wanted 350.00 and I did it for the price of the Puller and the Motor Craft SW 5928 Cruise Control Switch. Saved 230 bucks!

Used to try and pull pitman arm on 2005 Dodge Ram. The teeth on the arm snapped off, I then swapped the arms around and tried again, snapped again, now it is garbage. Maybe it took more than 2 tons of force. Onto the 5 ton puller...

This was the puller that finally allowed me to remove a stuck axle from my car. Tried a 12 ton hydraulic puller from HF, and it was too big. Then I went back to get their next smallest (5 ton), which didn't do a darn thing. Finally I ordered this guy, and along with a combination of some penetrating oil, an 8# sledge, and many tears, managed to get the job done. Great tool, can withstand repeated smashings with a heavy sledge, and still works like a charm.

It got the old blade adapter off with ease
