Arnie, I pull alot of shafts, currently use a Mitchell puller. The things I find important are: 1. Ease of use. A very good quality clamping mechanism. Clamps firmly and doesn't marr the shaft. Changes hosel size easily. 2. Easy to use puller mechanism. I believe the spring loaded puller does th

 I like the idea of a hydraulic device like the Weiss machine but would like a 4 to 5 in clamp section with replaceable rubber inserts. The push spindle should be able to accomodate different shaft diameters from .355 to .410. It should be made of durable heavy steel powder coated and cost a reso

I bought one of Mitchell's new top of the line pullers about a year ago...before I saw Richard's.  I like the ease of changing the plate that bears against the hosel, and the smooth operation of the screw assembly.  I feel like I'm able to apply plenty of pulling pressure easily.   Royce

good clamping but non crushing strength a solid consistent pressure (screw drive is consistent I have tried) full access to hosel with heat source As I have RK's model, I can say that T handles would be nice, and I bet RK would make them for me if I asked, but the rachet wrench works just as wel
