Bearing and Gear pullers

I bought one about 4 years ago for a specific job and one leg cracked on first (careful) use. Despite repeatedly approaching Spaldings via their call centre and the local rep they've still not replaced the failed part.

Otherwise it's a good set.

Looks like the other one is cracked as well.

Yes, poor manufacturing I think. Only that short leg set is affected, the longer legs are fine.

Got a comprehensive set of Sykes Pickavant I’m just about to sell, came with a job lot of gear from a factory closure. For comparison also pictured Spaldings set which I’ve only used 3/4 times which I’ll keep just in case but unlikely to need as using contractors on farm now.

That's the SP set I have, bought it in an auction years ago for £50. Was smiling all day as in my mind i would have gone much higher!! Without doubt one of the most handy things I own and a select few quite often borrow it from me on the basis if they lose or break anything, they replace it.

Got the Sealey equivalent and not broke them yet

Well I bought the Spaldings set after all, after a few fails on Ebay.

Havent tried it yet, its certainly not a Sykes Pickavant one, but seems ok for the money.

My reckoning is that its the same as the Sealey one here, https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637193680/hydraulic-puller-set-25pc, similar sets on Ebay for £90 odd, though the Spaldings one has a few more hex rods and a decent enough steel box.
The instruction booklet has a pic in it of the set in a plastic case like the Sealey one.
Spaldings.
I've a mobile drier to sort out so we'll see if its any use then!
