Q: What does "long 2/3-jaw reversible" mean?
A: It means the puller has longer jaws than standard, that can be configured in either two or three jaw setups, and the jaws can be reversed (upper or lower position) depending on the workpiece.
Q: What are the reach and spread and why do they matter?
A: Reach of 5-1/2 inch allows accessing parts located deeper toward a shaft or component, and spread of 7 inch determines how wide of a diameter the puller can grip; both must suit the part you are removing for safe operation.
Q: Is OTC 1027 suitable instead of other OTC pullers like 1026?
A: Yes, 1027 offers the same capacity but longer reach than some shorter models, making it better for parts that are harder to reach; ensure that reach and spread limits are not exceeded and that the component and condition match the tool’s rated strength.
