Hi Scott, Did not know this item existed, I only saw the more expensive one from Mac's. Now there are 4 choices for a puller. This item looks like it will do the job just fine using the same principal as the others and at a lower price. Thanks for the information.

I used the KRW puller on a Ford rear, the drums were last off in the early 50's... With an air wrench, heat (lots) and a 3 lb. hammer... It would NOT come off... Period.

I wound up taking an abrasive wheel to the hub- along the length of the axle, on top of the keyway... And, full on again with the air wrench and hammer, it popped off.

Point is, any other puller would have been toast. For the KRW puller, just another day at the office...

Yes. The sleeve is what's laying behind the half that's laying down. When the sleeve is on it looks like the top image.

I have had this puller for some time. Is this the one you are talking about?

My 34 Ford · 03-19-2012, 03:46 PM

Hi Scott, What you have is the puller made by Winfield Tool Works. This is a super puller and is a reproduction of the KRW puller made years ago. I was asking about the puller made by Vintage Precision which seems to be an excellent copy of the original puller made by KRW and your puller made by Winfield Toll Words. The price for the Vintage Precision puller is less than the other two and I was hopping that someone that had one could attest to the quality of the steel used in its manufacture and its ability to stand up as a club tool after multiple uses. Best regards

Macs sells a knock off hub puller for $2.90. I do not own this particular one but i have an original one from back in the 30's and it works great. Scew it on the axle till it bottoms out and leave the wheel on the ground that you want removed and hit with a sledge. It works every time for me. They recomend that you jack the wheel off the ground on the opposite side from the one you want removed. Marv

On one of these sites someone said they went to Harbor Freight and bought one of their gear pullers with 2 arms. I was in HF recently so I thought what the hell, it's less than $13 so I bought, came home, tried it and it worked fine.

B-O-B · 03-19-2012, 06:53 PM

If you want to go the harbor freight route but the pitman arm puller & relieve the center to fit the hub. Works good & better than pulling on the studs. I think it cost less also.

I've seen a bunch of rear drums, this one was one for the books... I can get a better hit with a 3 lb. hammer than a 10 lb., I'll bet...

I did get it off, though

The altered Harbor Freight pitman arm puller worked great for me. I had to grind the jaws a bit to get it to fit over the hub, snugged it up and a few taps with a hammer and off popped the drum. Its worked on a number of hubs so far.

supereal · 11-05-2019, 05:40 PM

The Winfield Tool Works puller can't be beat. I have had mine for many years. I know they are expensive, but there is no such thing as good, cheap, tools. A bent drum or ruined axle threads is not cheap!

Mart · 11-05-2019, 05:50 PM

This is an old thread recently bumped.

I use the Vintage Precision version as it was available and to me a reasonable price.

I show it in use in this video.

https://youtu.be/i26ZSqwFIF0

In the video I state that if you don't think you are going to break something when tightening it, the hub wasn't tight enough.

I stand by that.

If you are using an inferior puller if it feels like you are going to break something, you probably will.

Mart.

This was posted on HAMB in 2012. Read the last sentence of this post.

Winfield Tool Works makes the relica of the KR Wilson Tool.
Just so people know, Winfield Tool Works still produces the hub pullers. My father was the owner and my brother has taken over. They are exactly the same and are still produced by the same manufacturer. New Address.

Winfield Tool Works can be reached at

3 Enterprise Drive
East Setauket, NY 11733-3724
Phone: (631) 928-3316
Fax: (631) 928-3221

Here's one for sale on Ebay at a very good price, so far. I paid $150 new 10 years ago from Winfield.

What's the current price of that beauty?

The one on Ebay is said to be for a 39. Are there different tools?

I think 39 and 40 use the same Ebay puller. The Winfield hub puller I have for my 40 looks the same.

uncle buck · 11-06-2019, 09:52 AM

Unfortunately Winfield Tools discontinued the pullers several years ago and told me they had no plans to reintroduce it earlier this year. I got lucky and bought one on ebay and paid much more than the current one posted is at
