I used it to pull seals and bearings out of my boat’s I/O drive. Worked well and did what was expected.

Being a former auto tech, OTC products are a go-to for me. The company makes great quality tools that work great and outlast many big-name competitors at a fraction of the price!I recently had to replace rear wheel seals and bearings on an 1985 land cruiser and this was an invaluable asset.The fit and finish of the tool is perfect, the steel is stout (not cheap chinesium alloy) and it's straight forward & easy to use. This kit has everything you'll need for 95% of jobs requiring a slide hammer.The only thing I don't like is I purchased this same kit back in 2018 for about $100.⁰⁰, it was painful getting the same exact item for 2x the price (my previous kit was stolen :(You can't go wrong with this one, buy with confidence

Came in well packaged 2 days before expected date. great Tool, with all the attachments, well crafted and of good quality. used it the first time to pull a front bearing, took 13 slides to pull the bearing out, not hard at all. Downfall is the front bearing attachment holes are somewhat spread apart too far (for my VW Jetta hub holes) and when bolting your bolt is hitting the centre core of the attachment so the bolt cant be tighten down all the way, but if you tighten them evenly there will be enough pressure on the attachment to secure it solidly to the hub. Overall great tool for the money and will be a great addition to my tool crib.PS: it even has a nut with a bolt thread that will fit in a vise-grip so you can use it to fasten the vise grip on whatever you need pulled out and slam away.

Yay! I finally got to use my slide hammer. I've had this tool for a few months but never had the need to use it until recently when I was replacing a wheel bearing on a friend's Toyota Sienna minivan. One firm pull on this slide hammer and the hub bearing assembly came out with no problems.I'm not a professional mechanic, but I like to pretend I am. So that means I work on my own cars as well as friends. That also means I buy tools that may not get used very often (like this slide hammer and my cotton-candy tri-flex twin-tipped crescent spanner gauge). I'm a firm believer that having the right tool for the job can mean the difference between a pleasant wrench turning experience or not being able to complete a project and slipping into deep depression and swearing off working on cars for the rest of your life. This slide hammer is one of those tools.It comes with all sorts of attachments and adapters and gizmos and thing-a-bobs to pull all sorts of stubborn things that don't want to move. It's got enough heft on the slide to turn non-moving things into moving things. Grab this tool, sit back, and enjoy a legendary battle against an unstoppable force and an immovable object.For a guy like me, this is all the slide hammer I need. There are some other kits out there that have a lot more attachments that also have more dollar signs attached to them. If you're familiar with slide hammers, then you'll probably recognize the attachments: two wheel hub adapters (a tall and stubby), a screw for pulling dents from fenders, a small "claw" that can be used to pull against the edge of things, a three-jaw puller, a two-jaw puller and a vice-grip adapter.As infrequently as I'll be using it, this one fits the bill nicely. I did enough research and reading of other people's reviews (some who ARE real mechanics) to learn that OTC is a trusted name when it comes to tools, so I'm happy with my purchase.Everything fits nicely in the case and helps keep all those bits and pieces from getting lost.

Firstly, this slide hammer/bearing puller set is quite well made. I haven't had the pleasure of using any other brands, but I'm very satisfied with the finish and quality of the tools. Everything that screws onto the slide hammer shaft fits very well, with no excess slop or rough threads. That's important to me, and also a pretty good indicator of quality control.The cone attachment that guides the bearing puller jaws could probably benefit from a steeper cone angle. What I mean by this, is that it's somewhat difficult to adjust the jaws when they're getting snug against the bearing, but not quite snug enough. Jiggling the jaws and tightening them against the cone worked, and it's only a small nitpick, and I'm not knocking any points off there.What I _am_ knocking points off for is the company's claims to the origin of manufacture. Now, the Amazon product description doesn't state anywhere where the tools were made, so I wasn't exactly expecting them to be made in the USA. When I received the tools though, the packaging states MADE IN USA, and I was happy to see that! Then I looked a little closer, and on the molded tool box, it states Made in Taiwan. What the hell?I've uploaded a picture to the item photo gallery, and you can see for yourself. It may be that the white cardboard shell was made in the US, and everything else was made in Taiwan, but it seems very misleading to me. I've seen other manufacturers doing this too, and it sucks. I don't care where a company makes their stuff, as long as it's clearly labeled, and they live up to that claim. When a company advertises it's product being made in the US, it had better damned well be made here. Anything else is just plain lying to the customer.All said, I'm happy with the purchase of this set, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile bearing puller/slide hammer set. I used it to pull bearing races out of my motorcycle, and it worked beautifully!
