Worth the cost if you need it
Bought OTC 6980 Puller to remove rear drums on a 1997 Ford Ranger. Had tried tapping/beating on the drums with no success. This puller popped them off with remarkable ease.It's a serious, heavy duty tool, seems well thought out and good construction. Good, basic instructions including (as another reviewer points out) a note to use the lug nuts to prevent the brake drum from popping all the way off the studs when it let's loose.It also comes with a strap to secure the whole thing to the drum. I didn't care for the strap. Instead, I rotated the tool 90 degrees on the drum so the bar points up and down instead of side to side. That worked fine in my case.I doubt I would try to remove the drums again without this tool. It just makes all the difference.One note about drum brakes: If you have two threaded holes in the face of the drum, look on youtube for a video showing how to remove the drums with two large bolts and save yourself $100.

Does what it says
After years of struggling to pull rusted drums off my cars, I found this tool. It's very heavy duty and can handle any size vehice. I used it to pull the rusted drums off my 2006 Toyota Sienna van (3 ton vehicle). It didn't warp the drums. This tool was also pretty safe because it comes with a decent strap/tightening lever. And the good directions recommend that you leave two lug nuts on so the drum doesn't pop off in your face. I forgot to do this the first time but the drum really didn't pop too far. I'd recommend this tool not only because it does what it says it will, but also because it is so freakin' cool when the drum pops loose! I called my wife out to watch the second drum pop. It scared her pretty good...hee..he. Well worth the money... :)

Works Great!
I bought this to do my cousins rear Elantra brakes as the autoshop quoted him $600. We ordered all quality parts; drums, pads, & hardware, for under $225. Sure we cold have gone cheaper by why do it all again in two years.First we had to drill out the 2 screws holding the drum down and then his drums wound up being seized to the hub so bad I could not break them free even with my baby sledge hammer. I have never had this problem before. Short of cutting them off I decided to give this a try.What an awesome tool! It works great and is solidly constructed as well. I use it on my cousins breaks and drum still doesn't budge so I tighten it even more putting more pressure on the drum - nothing. Ok stand clear I say and I stand to the side and give it a solid whack with my 53 baby sledge.... BOING! and it comes flying off. No damage to the tool at all. Almost the exact same scenario on the other side. An hour later he is on happy camper.A few weeks later...
