Seriously? You used an impact on a puller?

I hope you are not confused as to why the tip of the jaw broke.

I use an impact all the time, makes it the removal much faster and I know exactly what i am doing when i do it.

Quit buying cheap ass pullers and do not use an impact if you are not aware of the damage you can do with one.

Buy a new puller.

Probably cant buy the arms.

I always rent the puller from Advance, and use a impact gun to get it off. I have never had an issue with using an impact. Mikey hasnt either because he does it too :P

Plus side is that renting an Advance puller is its free.
