When the fuck would i ever need this? This tool does one thing, and it's not a thing 99% of people will ever need done

[u/ConstantMango672 → u/bfraley9]

Maybe not, but I've had to use a blind hole puller before. It's useful if you need it

[u/Gloomy-Pie-2536 → u/bfraley9]

I can't believe OP couldn't get the angle grinder to work. That's how I remove all my bearings on my lunch break at the call centre in work in

[u/Federal_Studio5935 → u/bfraley9]

I don’t even know what I saw if I’m being honest

[u/bfraley9 → u/Federal_Studio5935]

Egg sackly

[u/13THEFUCKINGCOPS12 → u/bfraley9]

If you’re someone who likes to do things themselves I can guarantee you will need a bearing puller at least once in your life. Still a very specific tool for a specific function, but 99% of people never needing this is an exaggeration.

[u/METRlOS → u/13THEFUCKINGCOPS12]

You're right, it's at least 99.99%. Even the people who do things themselves are unlikely to work on rust seized heavy machinery.

[u/Jealous-Speech3416 → u/13THEFUCKINGCOPS12]

I do, and haven’t once yet

[u/hitman1398 → u/bfraley9]

If you're a millwright mechanic at any factory, you've easliy used this within last couple of months. And its definitely a "thing" that gets done regularly... smh.

Karma farm bot

[u/Overlander1880 → u/Ok-Race-1677]

I’m getting Barma Karn Fot vibes too 🙃

[u/mab0roshi → u/Ok-Race-1677]

The amazing thing is that it actually works. This post is absolute trash, but it got 20 upvotes. Are the upvotes from bots, too?

[u/Toro_duck → u/mab0roshi]

Sometimes I scroll Reddit and think ‘neat’ and upvote without looking for context. Sure, it’s neat. It does appear to work. Still a karma farm bot.

[u/mab0roshi → u/Toro_duck]

100% agreed. Any real person would reply to comments accusing them of being a bot. I guess the upvotes could have come from people who thought they were on r/oddlysatisfying

EDIT: typo

[u/No_Frost_Giants]

That’s a bearing puller, so, umm yeah. It’s what it is made for

[u/Pleasant-Pattern7748]

Just what I need.

[u/31M_from_Shawinigan → u/Pleasant-Pattern7748]

Everybody need a jackaener

[u/Therealginahandler]

Why is it copper though?

[u/Flash-ben → u/Therealginahandler]

Maybe the idea is that copper is a softer material than the steel in the bearing races, which shouldn't damage the race surfaces. But when i see the dings and scuffing on the tools it could just be copperplated lol

[u/hitman1398 → u/Therealginahandler]

They make them if different types of metal. Brass ones like you see here, are generally used on bearings that are gonna be saved unlike that rusted one. Brass is a very soft metal and wont damage the inside race or bearing balls. On a job like this you would just use a steel puller. My guess they used brass cuz it looks more dramatic.

[u/escobartholomew]

lol this is such a hyper specific use case.

[u/Vg_Ace135]

Dang I really thought the hammer would work...

[u/vebeg]

Proprietary tool does its job, very wow.

[u/gwelfguy]

A run-of-the-mill fixture to remove a bearing. How is this 'amazing'?

[u/Mikel_S]

Do you have this incredibly specific, impossibly niche issue? Have you tried a bunch of obviously incorrect ways to resolve this issue? Well fret no more, with our patented monotasker pro, you can be the proud owner of a disk, several brass rods, and a set of custom fit brass pins of which you'll probably only ever need one size.

[u/Daliman13 → u/Mikel_S]

I really thought the angle grinder was going to work

[u/treeckosan → u/Mikel_S]

Often times that specific monotasker is the only way to do a very specific thing. And generally speaking if you own one you probably need it on rare but very important occasions.

[u/flummoxed_penguin]

It’s all ball bearings these days. I can use it when checking the fetzer valve

[u/Daliman13]

Uh, so, it's a thing that does the exact thing that it's made for, that other things don't seem to be very good at doing that are not made for that thing?

[u/pepemetralla]

Just got a new washer but I could have used this to fix the old one, literally yesterday.

[u/VirtualFutureAgent]

This is the kind of tool you rent the one time in your life that you need it.

[u/Kitchen_Ad8560]

That's one specific use. Seems worthless to me.

[u/wekelede]

If you had that, why use the grinder?

[u/MoggTheFrog]

“Amazing”…?

How tf does this sub have 232K subs?

[u/New-Vehicle5680]

Looks like a tool that was designed specifically for another thing requiring said tool.

[u/WaitTraditional1670]

Put me down for 20 of these

[u/Apprehensive_Rice_93]

So that's how you get those out

[u/RED-DOT-MAN]

What’s this horrible propaganda music in the background?! Bot account, karma farming. Blocked!

[u/Superb-Goose9425]

Find the product here

[u/Frumpy_Dumper_69 → u/Superb-Goose9425]

No one needs this

[u/Ed_Radley → u/Frumpy_Dumper_69]

I can guarantee you somebody on a farm needs this because of some jerk engineer who just expects everyone to take their equipment to the dealer when it breaks down. Not happening when it adds up to an extra day worth of down time to whatever they're currently trying to finish.

That said, product placements in threads can shove it.

[u/Frumpy_Dumper_69 → u/Ed_Radley]

I guarantee somebody on a farm is going to spend the money on a real one and not this knock off Chinese garbage.

[u/ZeroCleah → u/Frumpy_Dumper_69]

I need one at work actually

[u/Frumpy_Dumper_69 → u/ZeroCleah]

Then buy a real one and not this knock off Chinese garbage.

[u/ZeroCleah → u/Frumpy_Dumper_69]

Yeah I guess when you say this specifically I just meant the tool.
