2.0 out of 5 stars Sub-Standard Quality for OTC, October 19, 2010

This review is from: OTC 4518 Stinger 5-ton Bar-Type Puller/Bearing Separator Set (Misc.)

When it arrived, this set was labeled as "OTC Stinger" not "OTC". While I can't confirm it anywhere, the Stinger subsidiary of OTC appears to be OTC's home mechanic (read "cheap") line of tools. (Perhaps similar to the BluePoint line that SnapOn sells.) It's manufactured in Taiwan, not the US. The kit includes a 2" and a 3" splitter, but they are not the OTC 1122 and OTC 1123 splitters. Both the OTC 1122 and 1123 splitters are made in the US. The difference in quality is very apparent. The splitters in this kit have high porosity castings and the "knife edges" on the splitters are clearly inferior to those on the "made in the US" OTC 1122 and 1123 splitters. This may be perfectly adequate for "loose" tolerance bearings, but maybe not. I'm not willing to find out and the kit will be returned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Professional Mechanic Quality, March 2, 2008

This review is from: OTC 4518 Stinger 5-ton Bar-Type Puller/Bearing Separator Set (Misc.)

I purchased this item for my husband, a full-time professional mechanic of 18+ years. After a few weeks of using it daily, he commented that it was "top of the line" and that it was one of the most ergonmic on his hands. This product is productive and holds up to heavy duty work environments. Fellow co-workers are ready to turn in their antiquated equipment for a new OTC. Overall, a great product!

Course threads on the shaft, thats bad. BUTTER STEEL, Works on light duty stuff, the splitters are better quality, good luck, bent some parts 1st time used on fairly light pull. NOT ORIGINAL OTC QUALITY, we, as a country import to much junk, key word there!!!!!!!!!
