Q: How should I care for pullers?

A: Always keep the tool clean and frequently lubricate the forcing screw fully to extend the tool’s life. With tons of force, we can’t stress safety enough when using pullers. Before using one of our pullers, we recommend reading the OTC safety puller information sheet, found at otctools.com.
