Automotive workshop tool designed to remove Pitman arms on heavy trucks reliably, with practical alignment and maintenance features. Mechanics gain confidence from a tool built for repeated workshop use, reducing downtime and damage risk. Is Laser Pitman Arm Puller the right choice for busy Scania and DAF workshops?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Pulling Capacity: 58mm jaw width for proper engagement with compatible Pitman arms
- • Best for: Mechanics and workshops servicing Scania and DAF heavy goods vehicles
- • Not ideal for: Owners of small passenger cars or those needing a universal, multi-vehicle puller
Built to engage Pitman arms on compatible HGV steering and to work with standard heavy-duty workshop socketry. Repeated workshop use guided by straightforward maintenance keeps operations reliable.
Precise Alignment – with a windowed puller body
A window in the puller body gives a clear sightline for jaw positioning, helping to align jaws with Pitman arm splines. Jaw seating is therefore more accurate when setting up for removal.
Clear visibility reduces the chance of slips and misalignment, saving time and lowering the risk of component damage during removal.
Long-lasting Durability – thanks to chrome molybdenum construction
Manufactured from chrome molybdenum and finished with black phosphate to resist corrosion under workshop conditions. The chosen materials suit repeated high-load use typical of HGV maintenance.
Robust construction handles heavy workshop workloads and extends service life, making the tool dependable for regular use.
Quicker Removal with Workshop Tools – with 3/4"D socketry compatibility and power-tool safe build
Designed for use with 3/4"D socketry and specified as power tool safe, permitting the application of higher torque via workshop impact tools. The force screw requires regular lubrication with molybdenum disulphide grease for consistent operation.
Compatibility with common heavy-duty socketry speeds up jobs while routine lubrication keeps the mechanism smooth and reliable.
