good product, comes in handy. used mine maybe twenty times and the piece attached to the forcing screw started to come off, on some occasions that is a good thing as the extra clearance is needed on taller wiper arms.

This worked as advertised for pulling off a windshield wiper. It may be years before I need it again.It doesn't seem sturdy enough for professional use but it made it so I could do my own repair.

The tool is nice, but there are different elements than pictured. The big thumb knob is plastic, not steel or aluminum as pictured in the listing. I purchased this to remove a rear wiper arm, this was nowhere near big enough to even come halfway down the shaft of the arm. Not a fault of the tool though, it's obviously made for the smaller front wiper arms. I decided to keep the tool anyway. Ended up having to go to Harbor Freight to purchase a set of pullers. They worked perfectly!

Packaging could be better, though. The central stem was cranked down so hard into the body of the tool that it required a vise and channel locks to get the tool unwedged from itself, and it was tightened so much that the crossbar was bent. Didn't change function of the tool, just annoying to have to use tools on a tool before you can use the tool.

I needed this to remove the wiper arms on my 2003 VW Golf. The drivers side arm was particularly difficult to remove. It was so hard in fact, I had to modify this puller to get the arm off. This modification is the sole reason for dropping the rating to 4 stars.Overall the quality of this puller is 5 stars. As mentioned by others the cone that is shown in the picture as being metal is in fact plastic. To me this is absolutely no issue at all though and is likely a rolling design change, which explains why the picture still shows it being metal. The force on the cone is minimal so there really is nothing wrong with it being plastic.The puller arms themselves are made of very strong steel and held up very well when pulling my seemingly welded on wiper arm. All of the stressed parts are strong and well made so this puller is likely to be the only one you will ever need for both battery connections and wiper arms alike.There is one problem I had with this puller. Had my arm not been so stubborn to get off it likely wouldn't have been an issue. The problem is the handle for turning the screw. What ever they made it from it is very strong. I didn't bent it no matter how hard I cranked on it. Conversely though, I couldn't generate enough torque to get the arm to break free. Also, the hood of my car was in the way so I had a hard time getting at it at certain points in the rotation. The solution was pretty basic for me, but would be nearly impossible without a lathe and a welder, which most people of course do not have.I cut the tee handle from the puller and then I drilled a hole in the end of a bolt so I could put the bolt only the shaft of the tool. I then welded it to the tool shaft. This allowed me to use a wrench or socket to turn the puller shaft instead of the tee handle. Once I had a socket on there I was able to easily get the torque I needed to break the arm free. Had this puller been of low quality materials this additional torque would have destroyed it. It did not break though, it held up just fine. Which makes me wonder why Lisle doesn't have a hex on top instead of the tee handle. I'm guessing they are concerned that people would over torque it and as strong as this is, I'm sure it is not of unlimited strength.I do think that in 90% or more of all situations this puller would work perfectly just the way it is built. In my case, living where they salt the heck out of the roads, things can be pretty hard to get apart. As an example though the passenger side popped off with no issue at all.I'd recommend this to just about anyone.

I used this to pull wiper blades off a BMW Z3. Did the trick but it was tough. The small tightening bar can be hard on the hands when the blades are stuck on. That would be my only complaint.

Has pulled off Wiper arms fairly well. Only times I had trouble were more with the vehicle and the many funny shaped plastic trim pieces not allowing room for the arms to go around the wiper arm base. Only negative is the feel of the thin handle. Feels like its going to bend or break as I twist it. So far has been good, considering im a technician and use it quite often.

A little complicated at first, and its one of those tools you will need maybe once a year. It worked like a champ after i figured it out.

I rated four stars instead of five because the product I received is different than the one in the picture. The one I got has a plastic cone instead of a metal cone.Minutes after I opened the box, I got to try this tool on a stuck battery terminal on a Nissan Maxima. It pulled right off with no effort at all. It works GREAT for stuck battery terminals.Stuck battery terminals are very common on the Ford Edge, Mazda 6, Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. The factory tightens these too tight causing the lead terminal to mushroom into the slot in the terminal. This puller can overcome the softness of the lead and pull the terminal up and get it off. In the case that the terminal under the windshield cowl is the one stuck, unbolt the other side of the battery cable from the body - it's usually nearby. Then remove the terminal with the battery and cable off of the vehicle.

I needed to pull and recenter a rear wiper blade. With this tool it was a simple task.

This is a solid feeling puller which has probably been downgraded slightly from the illustrated version, but still seems well up to the task for which it was designed.As you hold it, there is a clear sense of heft from the solid metal crossbar and puller arms, which take by far the major share of the load. The screw moves true and square, though the point of the shaft is not perfect. The light colored (aluminum?) metal cone in the illustration has been replaced with a solid feeling piece of ABS plastic which won't see a lot of load but would still be better in the original metal form.This is like a number of other Lisle specialty tools I have used. The surface finish isn't very sexy, but it is apparently a pretty clever, very well constructed piece that is not shipping jobs overseas. I like it.
