Q: What are you trying to pull? 

A: When looking for a puller, first determine what you are trying to pull. Are you trying to pull a shaft out of something, pull something out of a hole or pull something off a shaft? This will indicate if you need a push-puller, jaw-type puller, slide hammer or one with internal or external-internal adapters.
