Q: What does "maximum reach" and "maximum spread" mean?
A: Maximum reach is the distance from the jaw grip point to the back of the screw when fully extended (11 inches in this case), while maximum spread refers to the widest diameter the jaws can open (12 inches) so the puller can grip around larger parts.
Q: Can this puller handle deep seated parts?
A: Yes, with its 11 inch reach, it’s suited for parts that are located deep on shafts or within housings; ensure that there is enough clearance to use the screw safely without interference.
Q: Is OTC 1039 safe for high torque applications?
A: Yes, provided you stay within the 13 ton capacity, use proper jaw alignment, ensure pulling screws are maintained (lubricated and undamaged), and inspect tool condition before use.
