I am looking for one that is relatively cheap and can get the job done with little effort. Does anyone have any comments on different types of extractors they might have tried over the years and found worthwhile buying. George Yes, the Schaff #5501 on p. 50 is good for in the field or in the shop. I've never bothered to get a bench-mounted device, but I'm sure it would work fine. Never tried the pliers type -- don't need it since I have the other tool. Besides, I don't think the pliers type can be used for pushing the new pins in. --David Nereson, RPT
