Re: IML: Drum Puller on eBay



The quality of the JC Whitney puller leaves a lot to be desired.  I believe the JC Whitney drum puller is useless for our Imperials.  Our drums are on tight and the combined forces on the cheap metal cause them to fragment before they do the slightest good.  I personally have had one atomize after a few hammer strikes.  I have the use of a very heavy duty drum puller owned by the army.  On our cars you need the best built drum puller you can find.  When I have taken my car to a brake shop in the past, I always supplied my own puller.  Often the shop did not have one or the one it had was not up to the task.  In one instance, I made the mistake of paying before I checked to see that the drum puller had been returned to me.  The shop made out like it was theirs.  I had to tell them to expect some disgruntled MPs before I got it back.

Now that is good news, about JC W, because a typical one (like OTC) retails for close to $100 at a tool supplier
Thanks, Joe

Except for it being "old," I cannot imagine why anyone would pay close to $70 for a tool that is available from JC Whitney for $29.
