I was thinking about picking up a shaft extractor and was looking at this one for my garage workshop. Any thoughts on this one or is there another one I should check out? Thanks All!

Its not very good at all. I know 2 people that had them and they were nothing but trouble.
I prefer the golfsmith stuff for tools. This is the shaft extractor I use. I have pulled hundreds of shafts with it and have never had a problem. Well worth the extra hundred bucks imo.

The Golfsmith one is better than the JB one. I have used both and am staying with the GS model.

That JB Jr. Hydraulic is the only extractor you will need. It is the greatest thing I have ever bought for my shop. You don't need torches with it. A simple heat gun will do.

Hell, I bet you could do head-pulling with a hairdryer with the JB Jr. It's awesome and totally portable. You don't need to put it in a vise. Pulls take mere seconds with it.

You never have to worry about the paint on a clubhead getting too hot because the heat you use is so low because of the hydraulic pressure. The metal isn't even hot to the touch in most cases after a pull. No more having to wear a glove to hold the head after it comes off.

I highly recommend it.

I have the Golfworks clubmaker's vise puller. It's only OK, but I already had the clubmakers vise so it seemed to make sense.

I don't pull a lot of shafts but if I start doing more I think I'd get the JB jr. Everyone I know that has them loves it.
