Re: IML: Drum Puller on eBay

[captden30@xxxxxxx]

i have been told that the jc whitney tool is not great quality. for 
anyone who has used a drum puller you know  how much abuse the tool 
must take. any problems and the drum can be destroyed or you can be 
hurt. in the long run, paying a little more for thr quality tool is 
much cheaper. i recently paid$ 79.00 on ebay for a puller and was glad 
to get it. it is 40 years old but still quite capable of doing the job. 
i have never seen or used the jc whitney tool, so if it is a quality 
tool then go for it. personally i find it hard to believe it can match 
the "old" one at a price of $29.99. remember, a used brake drum 
averages about $100.00 and an injury to you or your car can cost alot 
more. i have pounded on these pullers with small sledge hammers to 
remove a drum, so keep that in mind when you purchase this tool.

  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.
