Hi Steve,
Just ordered the Knockout tool , never hurts to have another tool to remove fan blades. Thanks for taking the time and keep up with the videos, very helpful!!
This looks nice... I ordered 3 of them today.. cant wait to try it. Gonna be neck level !! Thanks Steve !!
I've been using the Sensible Products UP-1 for years. I stripped the drive screw earlier this year. Sent it to them for repair and they returned a new one and paid return shipping.
Works best using a small impact impact driver.
Mr. Lav. I thank you for all your videos! I learn from all of them!
Great fair and honest review. That shaft was "mushroomed". You were right to file it off. Next time, heat that fan hub with your torch until it is red and then quench with water. Attach your new tool, whack it once and done. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
good point with the heat ,
Thanks Steve had a problem with a unbalanced fan, would vibrate like hell. wound up banging it off to put the fan on the bench to try to balance it. when I got the blade off the hub on the fan broke loose and had to replace it anyway. Always was afraid I damaged the motor with all the beating but never heard anything. Thanks again for the input keep up the great videos.
yes a unballanced fan can make a racket
Great review Steve! A ball end allen key would make taking up the slack easier before swapping to the other end for tightening.
Nice job. Keep in mind, the base unscrews so you can install on a deep blower. You can then screw the handle back on. I found this out after using it a couple of times. Give it a try.
Just bought one Steve Lav. It is twice as much the other one tho. Paid $97 with shipping but it is worth it. I think the tool is next level y'all :)
it will get the job done when others wont its worth the money
Great review Steve. Like Johnny said below, I'm not crazy about all the loose parts. I'd keep the whole kit in a small ammo box so I wouldn't loose the parts. But I'd be sold on the fact that it could save you a trip to the suppy house. I'd buy one.
Agree an ammo tin is the way to go for easy storage otherwise those alen screws are sure to get lost in the depths of the tool bag never to be seen again!
I bought one of these 2 months ago and it works better than the other pullers I have also. Same puller Steve used on the one couldn't get off with the other puller. MAMA!!!
I use a socket with a Allen key head...
Great review Steve next level , my daughter ask where is the baby dog
Good review Steve. I think square head bolts would be great. You could use your service wrench to tighten them!
impressive! great review Steve!
Hey Steve, I saw another video on this puller and the HVAC service wrench is the same size as the hex key needed to tighten the screws. Seems much easier with a ratchet.
Damn, I could have used that a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the demo Steve.
I will be getting one, Nice job Steve.
Great review Steve!
Great review Steve.
Just ordered one, looks like a great tool.
steven like your stuff, summers i install an service keep the good info coming
Thanks for sharing Steven!! Time to head to Mid City Scrap!!!
real nice tool steve great review
Great job and video like always ( Steven )
Definitely useful on the stubborn shafts. Thanks Steven.
yes for sure . could get you out of a jam
Thanks for the review! I was looking for something like that.
Nice review!!! You sold me man. Gonna buy it now
you have quite the collection man
nice review Steve and nice tool
Nice demo, Steve.
Maybe they'll watch your video and make the changes you recommended. Nice to see an honest opinion that's not influenced by $$$.
Nice vid, I like wacking, the hammer is my favorite tool
Next level review Steve
Great review Steve and agree it would be better with square heads to tighten but other then that looks good
Wow,that last one was tough. Cool tool.
A valid test. I am a believer now.
honest review lik you said. gotta get me one. thanks for recording.
Steve, a God subjective reviewe and a decent tool as well.
Steve, great review! Thanks for an honest, no bullshit test of this tool. Is the entire tool made of steel?
I have the SUPCO fan puller, and over the years, the point on the spindle has become rounded off, making it difficult to center on rusted shafts. Looks like this new tool is a better design than threaded spindles. Time to move up to the next level.....!
Tough little tool, good review Steve.
Thanks for the review.
Next Level Mama! Now I can add a new tool to my arsenal!
i do endorse the tool its worth having in the truck ,it can get you out of a jam
great review steven i always have to get blades of thank you
it worked well ,, got the job done
Any tips on straightening, rebalancing a warped blower squirrel cage?
Nice video Steve
great review!!
Nice Review, where can I buy this tool...
Can’t find it at any of the distributors I frequent...
Good tool, Steve
The allen wrench a problem...match the thread for bolt?
Nice review, good tool.😎
yes its a good tool
I have that exact mini sledge,those are awesome.
On the last one, do you think applying heat would make it a little easier ?
Be careful with too much stress on your hand. Thank you for sharing.
What about having a long allen wrench to hook-up to a drill; would that be faster!!
I could use one of those, needed it last week for an old comfort maker unit.
Good job!
This could apply to my line of business as well, when wheels freeze to the shaft of snowblowers or lawn tractors! I've come across ones that just could not be removed, and had the cut the axle off. Hmmm ....
Good demonstration Steve can you get this at a HVAC supply house like re Michaels or sidHarvey's. I am a petro oil tech tried Amazon did not see it any advice looks like something good to invest in
Nice review. I have a proper set of pullers but for the most part I just replace the motor,blade and rain shield . A good share of the blades are out of balance after they have been forced off.
some times the blades are not in stock at supply house i have found so getting the old one off is nessecery at times but i agree changing everything might not be a bad idea. if you have to .
You could also use those rounded end ball allen wrenches that eliminate the rigid 90 degree angle to tighten those cap screws. Nice idea it is. Tough jobs need a way to hold the handle rigidly vs. with your hand to get more out of the hammer blow as the hand gives some when hammering.
20:30 LOL that had me rolling! That's the stuff I say when I finally get the damn thing to budge.
That thing looks like an awesome tool gonna get me one of them. I think Ralph did a review on this as well. I checked their website they also have this magknob thing for your torch bottles that looks really cool as long as it works. Good review Steve good to see an honest review and not like some of these peter puffers trying to get free shit!! LOL
I ordered one and when I used it for the first time I could not get the screw to go in the hub because of the pitch of the blade.
They recommend a service wrench for the hex key
Why do you prefer a standard sledge over say, a BRASS hammer, Steve.
My 'fan motor kit' includes a brass hammer, 18" aluminium bar, and a piece of sand-paper.
When that last little bit of the shaft needs to be knocked out of the collar I use my 1/4"x6" Wiha bit.
I cut it off the motor, sand, oil, use a iron pipe coupler and pound it off going the opposite way with a brass punch. Works almost always...
Not too bad. Looks like it works good.
awesome puller !!!!!!!
Nice, I need me one of them tools
I need something like that to remove my condenser fan blade! My capacitor was good, but started going bad, because it had a poaching bubble on top of it!!
"Hit the shaft with some oil" lol hahaha!... Thats what she said.... Lololol
metal filings in the condenser...nice!
I like it
$89 plus tax and ship .
Would want a proper knock pin and hardened screws for that price . Yes it did the job .But how much is a blade just add it to the bill .
good review. seems like it'd be a pita to mount it inside a squirrel cage without hex heads but good review still.
Great review. Hopefully the company listens and changes those hex heads.
I'm sold
What stops the tip from mushrooming out?
The tip of the motor shaft that is?
You can add two nuts on these seating screws to allow tightening by wrench for this puller.
awesome tool,...PB blast is the bomb for rust , give it a try mama,..lol
universalappealmusic yeah good old PB Blaster is the way to go. There is nothing better!
it'll get 'r' done.
50 whacks and it came off!
I'm think square head screws might be better than hex head, to avoid rounding over with a wrench as it gets wear from use. Those allen cap head screws look generic, are they metric or SAE?
service wrench size
The top collar of that thing should be about 6 inches in diameter or you could make a shield out of thinner metal to protect your hand. And get yourself a set of allen sockets for your ratchet.
What are the chances of damaging the bearings on the motor with that type of tool?
usally the only resion you would pull a fan blade off is because the motor is bad . most of the time they come off easyer then this one in the video , it was a hard true test of tool .my other puller could not get the job done. so i would not worry about berring in motor .probley never would have to worry about that issue . issue is getting the blade off if its stuck good on shaft .
nice tool I'm sold ill get one based on this review thanks
Sold
👍
Get a dremel tool with a wire brush. Hit the rust on the shaft and clean it up with some sandpaper. Oil the shaft and get some in the gap where the set screw is also. Remove the set screw and spin the fan while holding the shaft still with a 12mm open end wrench. Spin until the fan and motor separate. If stuck use a air hammer with punch bit to knock the shaft down while you support the fan. Don't do this on a motor you're going to reuse.
you got a snake fan in that snake bed?
sometimes u really need a part and u got it parts house closed etc...
seems like a helpfull product though
WOW........
.
Considering how simple the design is, why isn't it made in the USA?
What is nick livel ?
next level. next level
Having an employee go to hospital to remove a piece of metal from his forearm, I suggest not using steel hammer. Lead or brass hammers would be safer. Possible injury from dropped motor, and having to bang the tools, eliminates this tool for me. Threaded tools are much safer, when you have to pay for Workman's Comp insurance.
That'll come in real handy when you need the fan blade. Where's the Baby Dog?
dang Steve u r the a/c junk yard for part's!!! how's the doggie???
i would usally go to the metal scrap yard once a year to clean out stuff in back yard .. cut up all the scarp thats worth anything ,and junk it .
+steven lavimoniere good job
+steven lavimoniere how much this thing coat
go to the link in descripion and look it up on webb site .this one was sent to me for demo/review i did not pay for it
+steven lavimoniere ok cool tks steve
Especially if it's after hours or out of town when you really need to safe that fan..
goodmans are the hardest
nek level nek level momma :D
I think that 1st puller loosened it for this puller? Sorta like Gramma loosening the pickle jar lid so Grandpa can take it off the rest of the way?
I ALLLLLWAYS get a new fan blade if unit is some years old... when taking apart you could put the blade slight off balance,, re-installed and it could put an I in the stuff and burn up the bearings due to stress...AAAAND lo use anti seize paste
Why would you file down the grand finale? If the tool was legit then roll with it.
