So what pulling tools do you have to have to work on differentials, trans, etc. Also what brand do you use?

I just bent two pullers trying to get my pitman arm off. They bother were 2 arm pullers that could handle up to 7 tons(or so it said) and they weren't super cheepo's either. The arms just flexed untill it slipped off. I didn't have the $$$ to spend on a posi lock but the when I do I'm going with one of those. I've also heard good things about them.

What are you trying to pull anyway?
