Customer Reviews: Good Product August 28, 2010 frugalconsumer After seeing a snap on unit that looks completely identical, I decided to get this one at almost a third of the price off the Snap On truck. It works great. It's little bulky for tight situations where a regular puller would work better, but it makes up for it in brute pulling power. The threads in mine were tapped a little crooked, which makes the tapered part not completely centered when threaded all the way down, but it in no way diminshes the usefulness of the tool. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to a friend. I can't for certain say this is the same unit as a Snap On, but it appears to look the same, and for the price, it cannot be beat. I'd give it 5 stars if the threads were straight, but I'm just being picky.
Great Puller! April 13, 2009 D. Milligan (Salt Lake, Ootah) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great pitman arm puller at a great price. Much better than those cheesy pullers that break easily. This puller can also be used to pull bearings if you know what you are doing. This unit is IDENTICAL to the snap-on puller that costs about $150. I own this unit and another mechanic at work owns the snap-on unit. Side by side there is NO difference! According to my local tool truck OTC makes them for snap-on and puts on their logo. Make sure you use anti-sieze on the threads and it will work and last much longer.
8150 review November 17, 2008 Steve I used the puller to pull the arm off a saginaw power steering box on a jeep wrangler. It was a tough one, and I had bought and tried a two fixed arm type puller from carquest which had a problem with the arms spreading and bending. The otc 8150 did bulge a bit and lost one thread before the arm came loose. But it worked. You will need a good 3/4 inch drive socket wrench and a long pipe on the handle.
Its GREATTTTT! August 8, 2008 R. Cichon This product was shipped overnight even though I asked for free shipping and the product worked like a charm.

Unit appears well designed but poorly manufactured. Screw is a very loose fit in the body and will probably strip the threads after a few hard uses.
