They're pretty great...anybody that has encountered a castle nut knows what I mean!

Thanks!

I think they make a similar one for Craftsman.

WF makes that I believe.

looks like a longer version of the Proto I had kicking around for 15 or so years.....

I'm guessing there isn't much room for improvement in the designs; they're all alike.

I have had one for years, and I do a lot of cotter keys. I don't think I have ever pulled a key with it. I use it for a lot of things, but I can never seem to find a key easy enough to pull with it.

Vise-grip and hammer seem to be my solution, maybe it is what I end up working on.

Vice grips are always good.

I like this one since it's so long...a lot more leverage to pry 'em out.

I've used my craftsman one to loosen stuck on hoses with out damaging them.

I guess it's essentially an automotive pick. I will admit stuck hoses are a huge PITA...

they have a shorter version also, if someone wants a pair of'em

 

[DodgeMech]

so it's a pick with a thicker shaft basically?

i myself prefer a good pair of dykes(snap on 388cf) and a hammer to get out stubborn ones...and yes i hammer on my dykes haha

Yes, the tip is blunter and has a swerve for prying.

I have the Craftsman one but I've never used it for cotter pins... Makes a nice hose pick.

I have the Craftsman one. I used it recently to replace the wheels on a dolly, and it worked great. Haven't used it to do wheel bearings yet though.

Does Cman offer a long one?
