A little gem like this is a blessing in disguise. The rear wiper on my Lexus had broken off, and I tried to replace it, but the wiper was frozen to the bolt because it had been on there for ten years. There was no progress or luck with prying, use of solvent, etc. Then this reasonably well-made terminal puller arrived by way of two-man delivery Delivery within one day of ordering Prime. Although I thought it would be a waste of money, I changed my mind. However, I was not confident it would work despite the fact that I ordered it. I did not expect it to be as cheaper than an auto shop, but it was worth a test drive. With the squeezers to spread around whatever base you are pulling or pushing, this fits around the wiper base easily, and it slipped around the base of the wiper . . . and then it is time for the big reveal. Having tightened the press onto the bolt and turned it, I waited until the pressure increased and then turned it further. There you go. I was able to pop it out with no problems. That's how it is. It is easy to loosen it if I do all of my other efforts. There is no denying the fact that this broken wiper base was still effectively frozen to the shaft, nor the fact that it performed as promised. Who knows, I may even get to use it on a battery terminal in the future. Whatever the case, it was well worth the modest investment and makes a great addition to my garage tool kit.
This is a highly recommended program for those in the same boat.
This was my last attempt before my break. However, I was not able to duplicate the results. **My car is a 2007 and I have what appears to be welded-on wipers. applied so much force to the turning handle that I bent it like a pretzel when I turned it I had to use a plumber's As soon as the driver's side "popped off" (I expected it to slowly lift up and come off, but it came off like a rocket), I immediately began assessing the damage. On the passenger's side, the prongs at the end of the tool bent on one of the sides, making the job even more challenging. When I straightened it out with my hammer on the next attempt, I didn't expect it to hold up As I widened the little finger, the wiper fell off but the little finger bent again. I realized letting it bend again would result in the wiper falling off again. I am very happy with the tool, however it needs more improvements in order to get a better rating, so I only gave it three.
So far, looks good, but there are some issues. It was so easy to pop the wiper arm loose when I started turning the handle. I attempted the same test with the other wiper arm and it came out easily, too. The wiper arms had refused to move when using the two previous pullers, but this TOOL made it easy to pull them loose. Having spent my life as an industrial mechanic, I was deeply impressed by this little jewel.
This program does what it was made to do I am not sure of the exact statistics, but in my shop, we say that more than 90% of customers have never looked under their hoods before. The result is they do not see leaking batteries because the corrosion does not begin to form until it's too late. Tightening the hell out of the terminals does not provide any It is true that, when removing the terminals, these tend to be stuck to the poles, and using acid cleaners tends to force a chemical on to the terminals which only damages them By using this tool, I was able to quickly and easily remove the terminals without having to clean them first and without causing damage to them. The window washer pullers on these tools tend to have a second function as well. While it works great on many rear windows, it does not winden enough to reach the front arm washer on many 2016 and later vehicles. As a result, I have removed the arm and welded a 15/16 nut onto it.
On my 2010 Tundra, this item was necessary to remove the windshield wiper arm. This was the recommended way of cleaning the area under my cowl, and the wiper arms needed to be removed. The windshield arms fit snugly around the arms of the windshield once I was able to weld down the There was no fuss at all when the wipers popped off. It turned out to be very useful for another purpose as well. As part of the project, I was replacing a leaky toilet valve that was fitted with a compression fitting. The old brass ring would not come off with my pliers, so I realized I had a better option. A penny was placed over the 1/2" copper pipe, and then I grasped the arms around the large A set of pliers allowed me to easily pull off the brass ring by bringing it just up to the edge of the pipe. This tool is very useful for much more than.
Saves time. It makes pulling difficult to remove battery terminals easy. Batteries of all kinds can be charged using this method, as well as wiper blades that are stuck to them. In testing this tool on at least a dozen vehicles, it has not given me any issues. This is such a useful tool! The tool is by far one of the most handy ones I have at home, and instead of knowing about it a long time ago, I wish I had found it sooner. I would have saved a lot of time and effort if I had known how to remove stuck terminals earlier. You can only do a job as well as the tools you have at your disposal, so please go ahead and make your life easier by picking This is a decision you will not regret.
With this tool, I was able to remove a 2004 4Runner's rear wiper (or at least what was left of it). The initial problem I had was when the terminal puller would not grab enough of the wiper for it to work properly. I had to clean the exposed surface with a blade and spray everything down with a penetrating lubricant before I got it going. As far as the tool goes, it fails to close properly on a 6mm shaft, and there is a bit of play in the mechanism that ended up testing my determination, and it will likely do the same for you.
It has been observed that some men use screwdrivers and pry bars to try to pop them up, but end up breaking the battery case in the process. Through the use of this tool, this scenario is prevented. Even though it might take a little longer to get setup, it'll be worth it when you don't need to purchase a new battery for your client.
