Proto J4217 Adjustable Jaw Puller 6 Ton 8 Inch Spread

Product Description

The PROTO J4217 is a 2-way/3-way adjustable jaw puller rated for 6 tons of load capacity. It is designed for removing bearings, gears, and pulleys from shafts and housings in mechanical and industrial service applications. The J4217 features a maximum spread of 8 inches and an overall length of 7.5 inches, with a reach of 4.5 inches. The adjustable jaw configuration allows the technician to switch between 2-jaw and 3-jaw pulling setups to match the geometry of the component being removed. This tool is well suited for HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical tradespeople who regularly service rotating equipment.

The J4217 is used in applications requiring controlled force extraction of press-fit components. Typical use cases include removing shaft-mounted bearings from blower assemblies, extracting drive pulleys on belt-driven HVAC equipment, and pulling gears from motor shafts during drivetrain service. The 6-ton capacity and 8-inch maximum spread make this puller suitable for a wide range of small to mid-size mechanical components found in both residential and light commercial equipment service.

Key Features

• 2-way and 3-jaw adjustable jaw configuration for versatile pulling setups
• 6-ton load capacity handles press-fit components requiring significant extraction force
• 8-inch maximum spread accommodates a wide range of component diameters
• 4.5-inch reach provides clearance for deep-seated bearings and pulleys
• Compact 7.5-inch overall length allows use in tighter service areas

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose mechanical service on bearings, gears, and pulleys across a range of shaft-mounted components in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This puller is installed by a qualified technician or tradesperson performing mechanical disassembly. De-energize all equipment and lock out the power source before beginning any puller work on rotating components. Ensure the jaw tips are fully seated and the puller is centered on the shaft before applying force to avoid component damage or jaw slippage. Do not exceed the rated 6-ton load capacity.
