Product Information
Full details
The Facom U.32T6-20 is a professional-grade mechanical 2-leg sliding-leg puller engineered for mechanics and automotive technicians who require high levels of safety and versatility in their extraction tasks. Its key strength lies in its convertible design, allowing users to switch between internal and external pulling applications seamlessly while ensuring stability via a secure locking mechanism. While it provides excellent control, its specific spread ranges mean it is best suited for medium-sized components rather than extremely small or very large industrial assemblies.
