Mac, I believe the quality of the Vintage Precision version is equal to the Winfield/KRW pullers, but if those rental items sprout wings, I'd be out of that business as well.

I believe the insinuation made in the above post was the Vintage Precision is of better quality than the KRW....Because the Vintage Precision doesn't push directly against the axle end like the KRW. Insinuating the KRW pushes directly against the end of the axle...which it doesn't.
Also, I'm certain I torque my KRW puller more than 125 ft/#'s on some occasions where drum/hub assemblies have been initially torqued to the correct specifications on a good tapered fit.

I originally put my hubs on at 220 foot pounds and the Vintage Precision Puller pulled them off my '47 super deluxe. Pulled the right rear off yesterday and the left rear off today. Not saying it's better than the KRW but am saying it works for me. It's an impressive tool and very worth having. Just my humble opinion.
