Comparing xiiw Gear Puller Sets
Our two xiiw sets cater to different needs, helping you choose based on project demands.
The 2-Jaw Gear Puller Set (4", 6", 8") excels in simplicity and portability. With two adjustable claws made from CR-V steel, it's perfect for targeted extractions like flywheels or bearings where three jaws might be overkill. Compact storage in a carrying case makes it ideal for mobile mechanics or occasional use.
The 3-Jaw Gear Puller Set (3", 4", 6", 8") offers superior holding power with reversible jaws that convert to 2-jaw mode. Progressive capacities (1.1t, 1.6t, 3.0t, 4.4t) handle progressively tougher jobs, from small pulleys to large gears. This set shines in high-volume shops needing one tool for multiple tasks.
| Feature | 2-Jaw Set | 3-Jaw Set |
|---|
| Sizes | 4", 6", 8" | 3", 4", 6", 8" |
| Jaw Type | 2 fixed claws | Reversible 2/3 jaws |
| Best For | Simple extractions | Versatile heavy-duty |
Choose the 2-jaw for budget-friendly basics or the 3-jaw for all-in-one capability. If xiiw doesn't fit your needs, compare with OrionMotorTech gear pullers or VEVOR gear pullers.
