     There are several types of centers pin extractors and inserters on the
market.
I am looking for one that is relatively cheap and can get the job done with
little effort.
Does anyone have any comments on different types of extractors  they might
have tried over the years and found worthwhile buying.

    Yes, the Schaff #5501 on p. 50 is good for in the field or in the shop.
I've never bothered to get a bench-mounted device, but I'm sure it would
work fine.  Never tried the pliers type -- don't need it since I have the
other tool.  Besides, I don't think the pliers type can be used for pushing
the new pins in.
