Anyone own and use the Tiger U-joint tools? If so, what are the pros and cons?

I have the 20102 u joint service set and 10803 yoke puller. The pro's for me are the u joint puller makes it much easier and quicker to pull a u joint. Made in Canada very well built. Con would be price maybe? u joint set was $800 and yoke $400 if I remember right.
They are well worth the money in my opinion. I can't imagine pulling my SPL250 u joints without it. If it matters it's not used in a pro daily environment just used to work on my equipment.

I have the automotive sized u joint puller. The thing is a beast. Pops them out better and faster than anything I've used, sledge/press/ball-joint press/air hammer.
I've used the big heavy duty u-joint puller for semi trucks a bunch of times. It works pretty good and is well made. However, the first time I used it when it was brand new I discovered it was assembled backwards from the factory. LOL. The two arms that press against the opposite yoke were facing the wrong direction. Once we figured out the problem and reassembled it everything was fine.

I used to blow u-joints all the time in my CJ and lusted after one of those, but the price...

I've been using them since they were invented. The c clamp style installer with the magnet in the bottom ***** because it holds the ujoint cup off center, it was a waste of money. The disassembly tool is awesome though, I would recomend.

Saw a guy using one in a you tube video yesterday, looked like an ideal way to not damage the yoke or the joint. I ordered one of the smaller, automotive ones
I have used the heavy truck one since it's inception. There is no equal.
I can't imagine you'll be disappointed.
