Is this drum brake puller any good?

[Tom Skinner]

The older American Made Pullers are made sturdier than the Tiawaneese - Niponeese etc. Pullers, however, The Tiawaneese Niponeese ones do work also.

I'm the first one to buy American first until you have to pay more than double for the same thing. The double price or more is usually my threshold. 90% of all my Tools are American Made, and I paid probably 75-95% more for them.

I used to be a machinist back in the 70's and built Trident Submarines in New Jersey, I am a proud American.

So putting me out to be a cheap skate sell out for buying a Tiawaneese Puller doesn't hold with me. I know Americans build better tools and I pay more for them. Twice as much or more is pushing it a bit. Whether we like it or not we are now and will always be from here on out "in a globle economy".

This is the puller I am using. Good to see it will work.

Hope you bought it off a snap-on truck or one of the tool trucks or it won't hold up. Also can use impact on it then sometimes after the impact I put the slide hammer with it for a second go.

I borrowed it from a longtime mechanic. It was in a huge set of pullers. It did work on the first drum, but the threads stripped out on the second...guy said it had a lifetime warranty, but I feel bad.

With the threads pulled you could still use it with a slide hammer!
