With the multitude of 3 jaw pullers on the market we are going to just hit one the major pullers in the class. When choosing a 3 jaw puller you need to ask yourself:
1) How often am I going to be using the puller?
2) How long has this part been on the engine and is it pressed on?
3) What is the spread and depth that I actually need?
To prevent damage to whatever puller you choose, make sure the threads have a thick coating of extreme pressure lubricant. I know I have done it but a three jaw puller is not intended to be used with an impact. If you use an impact and break a jaw or pull the threads do not blame the puller.
The best practice for use is to choose the correct size puller for the job. If possible choose a puller a little larger over a small puller spread to its max. Then place the puller on the object needing pulled and slowly remove the slack from the puller until semi-tight. When the puller is semi-tight, readjust the legs so than everything is centered on what you are pulling. You do not want your puller at an angle. Using a wrench or ratchet slowly tighten the forcing screw. If you feel the part moving then finish removing it. When you feel the puller go tight, it is like you hit a brick wall then stop. You can spray a little penetrating oil on the part or even apply heat.
