Best stud puller
I have used many different types of stud pullers, these Van Normen ones have worked the best, don't slip, release easy ---sometimes they show up on E-bay reasonable --this set I just got for 10$, they wear well, my first one has removed many more than 500 studs during my use and still shows no wear ---that doesn't count how many before my use, they work the same in both directions, and they come apart easy to clean the teeth --they grip so good that you can twist off any stud without slipping ---yet they give good feel that you will twist off fewer studs (solid grip instead of a springy grip).

Re: Best stud puller
After everyone reads your thread and sees the pictures I'll bet there will be more competition for the next one that shows up. That looks like a great tool, thanks for the tip.

Re: Best stud puller
I have 2 sets like that, one with 3 sizes and a single and have to agree with you on their use. I bid on that set but with what I have I didn't get too interested. Glad you got them.

Re: Best stud puller
Snap on sells a good one $$$ but it will snap a stud before it slips.

Re: Best stud puller
Snap on has sized pullers, so you need one for each size you pull, they do have a kit of several up to 1/2 or 9/16 they work real well and don't scar the threads, but they are pricey.

Re: Best stud puller
Snap-on collett type are the best. By S-o standards, they aren't even pricey, especially when compared to a long thrash with a broken stud.
I hope this link works: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog You can save a small amount of money by getting just Ford size collett and the puller housing from the spare parts section. FWIW, Ford shows and lists by Ford number a collett type puller in the V8 overhaul manual. Those flatheads used the same stud sizes (except length) as Model A's...
