buddy if you are planning on buying from them, if they don't carry a lifetime warranty, DON'T BOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now something like power tools maybe, but hand tools, wrenches and such, buy lifetime warranty, it's worth it. if they break you get a new one, it's not worth breaking the cheapos and rebuying them all the time.

Power tools would be great if you can get a lifetime warranty and is what I'd try for.

That goes for ANY company and ANY type of tool.

I bought one of those junk steering wheel/harmonic balancer puller sets from autozone. I'm done working with that cheap $16 dollar set. I bought the Wilmar harmonic puller/installer set but haven't used it yet. I can get the steering wheel puller by wilmar from ebay for $10 after shipping.

don't think it's gonna work much better then the autozone one then being cheaper.

I think ours is a cheapo and it works fine, bent some bolts on it, the bolts seem weak. A trip to the hardware or mine supply store can fix that though.

Dave you need to not worry so much about tools like that, A steering wheel puller is not an everyday use tool, you dont have to have the "best name" for that type of tool.

If ya want my opinion if i was you I would not OWN ANY of the tools you can rent from the parts store. Those tools are tools you dont use very frequently so why tie money up in them.

Thanks Pops. But I don't like to borrow or rent tools off of someone. I rather buy my own instead that way its already there when needed in case of a emergency.

Hand tools carry lifetime.
