Product Information
Full details
The Facom U.32T15-50 is a professional-grade mechanical puller engineered for automotive technicians and industrial maintenance engineers who require a reliable solution for extracting press-fitted components like bearings, gears, and pulleys. Its primary benefit is the versatile sliding-leg design that supports both internal and external pulling tasks with a secure, lockable grip for maximum safety. The primary caveat is that it requires manual assembly and proper surface preparation to ensure the legs maintain a square, balanced pull under high torque.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, ensure the pulling arms are fully retracted before positioning them around the component. Align the legs symmetrically and engage the knurled locking button until a firm click or resistance is felt. For maintenance, periodically clean the threads on the center screw and apply a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation. Store the puller in a dry, organized environment to prevent corrosion on the high-strength steel components. Regularly inspect the leg tips for signs of wear and replace them if the gripping surface becomes rounded or damaged.
