gear puller
40CR alloy steel is used to produce bearing pullers because it provides them with a very strong structure that is able to withstand wear.
Bearing pullers need to be able to remove bearings, gears or pulleys without becoming easily worn or damaged.
2. Heat Treated
heat treated
Bearing pullers are heat treated for increased wear and strength.
3. Chrome plated
Chrome plated
The bearing pullers are chrome plated to resist corrosion. Corrosion is when iron reacts with oxygen and forms a reddish-brown oxide that we know as rust. When steel corrodes it deteriorates and eventually decays over time.
