Best Bearing Pullers of 2026

"As a full-time farmer, I've found this puller to be extremely useful in my daily work. It's become an essential part of my toolkit and gets the job done efficiently."

"I use this kit constantly for bearing removal and it's already paid for itself. While I'm unsure about how it will hold up in the very long run, so far, the performance has been excellent."

"Plugging heavy-duty truck tires like 11R22.5 used to be a chore, but this tool makes it much easier and faster. It’s very easy to use and the price is great for the value you get."

"The Lisle 34550 Handy Packer has become an indispensable part of my garage. It's fast, clean, and makes greasing bearings so much easier than before. I love how affordable and compact it is—perfect for both DIYers and professionals. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to save time and keep their hands clean during wheel bearing maintenance!"

"After picking up the Lisle 34550, I noticed it removes the hassle and mess from packing bearings. I mainly use it for trailer and truck hub service, and it really speeds up the process—no more guessing if the bearings are packed enough. The build is solid, it handles different greases without issue, and it's easy to clean after use. If you do wheel-end work, this tool earns its keep quickly."

"This tool is a big upgrade over packing bearings by hand. It helped me repack my trailer wheel bearings much faster, and the process was a lot cleaner. For anyone who does their own maintenance, it’s definitely worth it."

"I've used this Orion Motor Tech kit for a few months, and it's become an essential part of my toolbox. It handled a tight transfer case bushing removal on my Ford Escape with ease. The collet system grips firmly and doesn't damage nearby parts, and the build quality feels solid. For anyone handling blind hole bearings, I'd say this kit is a great time-saver and highly recommended."

"If you approach this as a starter tool rather than a premium product, you'll get what you expect. The steel is a bit soft and the stays can be wobbly, but with some prep, I was able to pull two races on a machine tool. It probably won't survive repeated use, but for occasional jobs, it does the trick. For better quality, you'll need to spend more—otherwise, this is a decent one-off solution."

"Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The threads were rough and the brace was too flimsy, twisting under normal torque and bending permanently. I had no luck pulling two standard blind bearings. While I managed the job with improvised tools, this kit let me down. If you value your time, I'd recommend looking elsewhere."

"I got this tool to swap gears in my Jeep, and it easily pulled both pinion and carrier bearings. For the price, the build quality exceeded my expectations—it's heavy and gives you several clamshell sizes to work with. If you don't have a press, this is a must-have tool for gear jobs."

"This puller was the most budget-friendly option I could find, and I'm not disappointed at all with the quality. The clamshells feel solid, and every part is well made and finished. If you're looking for an affordable bearing puller, this is definitely the one to consider."

"I did have to reinforce the weld myself since the factory weld was pretty thin, but after that, the tool worked great for pulling the pinion nut. Everything else feels heavy-duty, and for the price, it's a good value once you fix that one weak spot."

"I was genuinely surprised by the high quality at such a low price. My washing machine agitator coupler was so stuck, nothing else worked until this tool finished the job. Even the smaller puller handled an extremely tough removal. I have no hesitation recommending this for any stubborn part—it exceeded my expectations."

"For the money, this is a great product. It easily removed the center bearing from my Cadillac STS driveshaft in under five minutes. I value functionality over brand names or high prices, and this tool fits my occasional needs perfectly."

"The tool did its job and the quality is good for the price. However, it’s best for light to medium-duty tasks—when I tried it on a crank pulley, the threads stripped. Still, it should work fine for less difficult jobs."

"I was able to remove both rear axle bearings with this tool, even though I noticed the pins weren't seated properly at first. After a quick fix, it worked perfectly. Just make sure you have a compatible slide hammer and you’ll be good to go. Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase despite a slight quality hiccup."

"Before I tried this puller, my axle bearings wouldn't budge—not even with the old triple claw. Once I started using this set, the job was done much easier and faster. For my 2014 Ford Raptor, this tool was absolutely worth every penny and made the process much less effort."

"This kit was fantastic for pulling and replacing 67-72 C10 12-bolt axle bearings. The tool slipped in easily and pulled out the first bearing in a minute. Even when the other side was seized from rust, it still handled it with no issues. Solid build quality, and I didn’t worry about it bending like cheaper options."

"This hydraulic gear puller exceeded my expectations. I used it to remove wheel hubs from my Honda Pilot with no hassle at all. Its strength and flexibility make it perfect for handling gears, hubs, and drums during repairs. I highly recommend this puller for anyone tackling vehicle maintenance."

"I was seriously impressed by how easily it handled a stubborn rear hub on my lawn mower. After breaking two other pullers and trying all the tricks—heat, hammer, slide hammer—this tool took care of it effortlessly. Feels solid and reliable; time will tell how durable it is, but so far, so good."

"The puller is definitely worth every penny. It’s a bit on the heavy side, but it got a seized hub off my wheel motor that nothing else would budge. It feels well-made and powerful, and I’m glad I have it in my toolbox now."

"I was impressed by the solid build and weight of the hammer handle. At first, I had doubts about extracting delicate bearings, but this tool turned out to be the fastest and most effective solution when pressing them out isn’t possible."

"I specifically got this to remove a clutch pilot bearing from my LS2, and it did the job perfectly. The quality feels great, and although I’ve only used it once, it made the process super easy without any issues."

"This tool is a fantastic value. The expanding collet design really simplifies blind hole pulls, much better than claw-style alternatives. It handled the pilot bushing on my '97 Ranger with no problems. The variety of collets makes it very versatile, and I’m confident it will last for all the jobs I’ll need it for in my garage."

"I was really impressed with the well-made blow molded case—everything stayed in place, and the kit included plenty of different options. When removing a tough balancer, the tips didn't deform, which has happened with other cheap pullers. Definitely glad I got this set, especially for the price, and I know with proper care the threads will last."

"I'm not a pro mechanic, but I do a lot of my own repairs and maintenance. The parts feel sturdy and well-made for the price, and it was great to get a whole set for just a little more than a single puller at the local store."

"The case is nice and keeps everything organized, which is perfect for shop class. I picked this set for the value and included storage, and it worked perfectly for replacing an ignition switch on an older car."

"After struggling for hours with screwdrivers to remove pit bike bearings and almost damaging the seals, I decided to try this set. The variety of attachments made the job simple, and once I figured out the technique, I had the bearing out in under five minutes. The instructions are clear, and the high-quality steel parts feel solid. Despite the price, this tool is absolutely worth it for all the different applications it covers."

"I've been in the repair business for decades, and this set is decent quality for the price. The collets fit a wide range of sizes and the case is sturdy. I found that the jaw puller legs could be longer, since I sometimes have to use the slide hammer to finish the job. Still, it has worked for tractor and ATV repairs without breaking a sweat."

"This tool was perfect for pulling and installing bushings in my starter. It’s easy to use, and the twelve different sizes mean I can tackle most bushing and bearing jobs. I even hammered on one of the pieces to install a bushing and it held up great. I’d recommend this set for anyone working on motorcycles or cars at home."
