Im looking for another puller/installer set to replace my busted set that various "buddies" have lost most of the bolts and adapters for-
The set im looking at is the Matco MST4531 set.
Ironically, OTC has a set with the exact same part number ( 4531) and I wonder if Matco just slapped a sticker on it and raised the price.
Any insight or a "hey, thats okay but check this out" ?
I don't mind paying up to 200 for something quality that won't junk out in 5 years. I use it probably twice a week to remove and install dampers.

Re: Harmonic Damper puller/installer
OTC has tools on the Snap on, Mac, and Matco trucks with the tool truck names on them. I've seen it with many tools.
OTC make a good tuff tool that will last a long time if taken care of. I have some Snap on pullers that are very good that
are actually made by OTC, I like them a lot.
I have the Snap-On balancer puller installer and its been a good tool for years. I've had big blocks that really work the threads
on the installer. Keep the threads lubed up and it will last for many years.
Mm

I like to use the ARP "high pressure moly lube" on my pullers (the threaded portion) rather than moly grease.
What does everyone else out there use? I haven't seen any fast wear problems with the arp moly stuff.

Callies Cranks sells one that they only market. It is universal [with a few added crank adaptors] I have had mine for 15+ yrs and only bought a few repl. adaptors. It is an insataller and removal tool. Made in USA. Probably around 200.00 today. Call and ask for Don or Adam. PM me if you have a problem. Al

I've been using Moly grease on my threads for years. ARP's lube is very good stuff and I bet it would last even longer/better than what I'm using.
Its expensive but I think I will give it a try.
