2 jaw gear/pulley pullers are on my list of tools that when you need it, you need it. I'm looking into a set. I don't have the desire, nor the funds to drop $400-$700 on a Snap-on CJ2002 set but I am not having a ton of luck other than a single import set I found on Amazon.

Does anyone have any leads on a mid-grade set?

Ask Snapmom, a member here. I think she has the same set for less. She is a wonderful person.

Try Ebay for Snap-on. You just have to buy the pieces you need. The great thing about Snap-On pullers is everything is interchangeable and you can build whatever setup you need.

Look at OTC 4534 on Amazon at $145. If you need additional width or jaw depth coverage, you can add an OTC 4532 for about the same price, and the jaws from both sets are interchangeable, so for around $300 total you'd have near twice the width and depth coverage as the $700+ Snapon set. FWIW, OTC has been making pullers for about as long as Snapon has been making tools, and is the de facto standard for pullers in industrial settings.

I have a large bar-type puller I don't really need. We used it at work one time to pull an 18" gear off a machine. I'd let it go for a reasonable price if I can find all the parts for it. I'll be up near Madison in a couple of weeks.

eBay and a couple days of refreshing “Newest listings” a few times a day should save you some $$$.

Unfortunately OTC has succumbed to manufacturing a lot of their tools in china. Their older stuff was excellent. There was a post about this here about 5 years back.

I have the snap on set shown above, paid 250 for it, it was new in the box when I purchased it.

I also have CJ2004 set that I bought off a facebook market place seller for 200. I should have bought the rear axle puller set he had for 150 too but I debated to long if I needed it and it sold.

I found a complete set like in the first link in a box of **** at an estate sale for the grand sum of $3.

I have some of the Kukko German pullers. But I got them used off ebay or other places over the years.
But they are spendy today New if you can find them in USA.

I got several Armstrong pullers of different styles, brand new, from Cripe Distributing for dirt cheap. I don't if they still have any, but if they do, and you want an American made puller for an outstanding price, check them out.
