DURATECH 8-Inch 3-Jaw Gear Puller — CR-V Steel, 12-Ton Rated, Reversible Jaws

DURATECH's 8-inch 3-jaw gear puller is a heavy-duty, reversible jaw removal tool made from heat-treated CR-V steel for dependable, balanced extraction of gears, pulleys, bearings and flywheels.

This 3-jaw puller combines solid materials with flexible jaw positioning so you can remove pressed-on parts from shafts in tight or awkward spaces. Built for workshop and home garage use, the tool features corrosion-resistant finishes, a 12-ton rated drive screw and multiple reach options so one puller handles a wide range of disassembly jobs. Assembly is required before first use.

How does this puller handle different parts like gears, pulleys, and bearings?

The three-jaw layout provides an even, centered pulling force that reduces slippage and minimizes damage to the part being removed. Jaws flip and lock into eight different positions to grip either the inside or outside of a component, and several reach settings let you tackle shallow or deep-mounted pieces.

• Three jaws balance force for smooth extraction.
• Eight reversible positions for inside or outside grip.
• Multiple reach options: short, standard, long, extra-long.

What makes the DURATECH construction durable for workshop use?

Critical components are forged from chrome-vanadium (CR-V) steel and heat-treated to resist bending or breaking under load. The jaws receive chrome plating to fight rust, while the drive screw is black-phosphated for added wear resistance and longer life under repeated use.

• Drop-forged CR-V steel jaws for high strength.
• Chrome-plated jaws to resist corrosion.
• Black-phosphate drive screw for toughness and longevity.

What size range and capacity does this 8-inch puller cover?

This model measures an 8-inch jaw spread with a reach of approximately 9-1/16 inches and a maximum useful range near 200 mm, making it suitable for many automotive and industrial disassembly tasks. The drive assembly is rated to 12 tons for heavy pulls; measure parts carefully before use as hand-measured dimensions may vary slightly.

• Jaw spread: 8 inches; jaw reach: 9-1/16 inches.
• Maximum effective range: about 200 mm.
• Puller rating: 12-ton capacity for heavy work.

Is the tool easy to position in tight or awkward spaces?

The compact, precisely machined claws and reversible jaw design make the puller effective in confined areas where access is limited. Because each jaw can be rotated and repositioned, you can choose a short or extended grip to clear surrounding components or reach deep-set parts without improvising.

• Machined claws provide a secure, non-slip bite.
• Reversible jaws for inside or outside pulling in cramped spaces.
• Selectable reach options reduce the need to disassemble nearby parts.

Who is this for: The DURATECH 8-inch 3-jaw gear puller is aimed at mechanics, maintenance technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who need a single, sturdy tool capable of removing gears, pulleys, bearings and flywheels across a range of sizes. If you value corrosion protection, reversible jaws and a high-strength CR-V construction for repetitive or heavy-duty extracting tasks, this puller will be a practical addition to your toolbox. Verify measurements before purchase to ensure compatibility with your specific components.
