Bearing puller recommendation

[bobh]

I'm after a set of 6"-8" triple leg pullers, I bought a cheap set recently but they didn't last for one job, should have known better.

So what should I be getting for occasional use and how much should I be looking to spend.

I have some Draper 10 ton hydraulic ones, will shift most stuff, about £100 tho but will last a life time for me

I tend to buy any thin jaw pullers I can lay my hands on, the few quid they cost is pulled back damn fast when pulling a flywheel takes minutes instead of hours.

 

It is worth looking on the bay for Sykes or any other older manufactured kit that was produced when kit was made to last.

 

One tip is to not just keep turning the screw but to get torsion in it and belt the end with a hammer - the jolt frees things up generally last time I fell ass over tit when doing a 395 as it seperated and went from lifting the weight of the saw to just the flywheel:blushing:

The ones with a hydraulic tommy screw are good.
