I rarely use a screw-type shaft pusher any more. Even though I have 2 homemade pushers I generally use a slotted crowbar and a propane torch. If I happen upon a head that's really difficult to push off the shaft I'll use a mechanical pusher. It takes too long to set up the pusher. A crowbar is easier and faster, I think.

The problem is that the vise I built it for is questionable, and access to the materials to rebuild it is no longer there for me. So, I'm in the market for a shaft puller. I'm trying to keep the price at a minimum, and Mitchell has their 2001 models on clearance. The pro model that was normally $169 are $119, and the original model that was normally $139 are now $89. > > Anyone have any good or bad things to say about these.
