Center Pin extractor

[Joseph Garrett]

Geo,
No, to your question. I have the plier type extractor, (modified) AND I have
the "Squeeze" type, AND I have the "Pin Punch" type, in the shop, (mounted
on/in a special "pinning station" unit). Each has their specific uses. Each
is easier to use, than the others, in certain situations. $104 Canadian is
CHEAP, IMO! Wait til you buy some of the really high-end Renner tools!<G> I
have a tool, from Renner, that cost $130 US, 10 years ago!<G> It has been a
life saver many times. It does the job it was designed to do and it is well
worth the expense, IMHO.
Best Regards,
Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon)
