FORSTER - Universal Bullet Puller

Product has been revised and now has an allen set screw that appears to be deep enough to seat into (or past) the threads of the collet pusher assembly. No way for the nut to turn now. Simple fix that should have been there from the beginning..., but live and learn. Buy with confidence, especially if you have a Forster Co-Ax press.

I purchased the puller from Sinclair along with three collets, thereby saving money rather than Forster dirctly. The puller I chose was the "Universal" with the hex head as in pic. The hex head is a soft metal nut, thread glued on a minor thread. On the second cartridge (6.5 x 55), the thread lock gave up and the hex head /nut, turned on its own. I am now left with no option but to use padded vice grips to extract the "collet screw body. Why not use a one piece "bolt". Remember the principle of KISS, less to go wrong. The quality of the collets however is high, but the "gripping force" exerted inside the puller by a tapering surface could be better finished, probably such tightening force was required. I would have gone for the Hornady Cam Lock, but, I don`t believe you can cover two calibers with one collet, 6.5/.264 & .257 Also, from Forsters I purchased a dozen pack of die lock rings. I was very disapointed to find them to be soft alloy. Now I happily find Sinclair do their own lock rings in stainless, well done.

Not up to the usual Forster quality. The collect nut is held on by lock-tite and came un-screwed on the tenth bullet I pulled. Do not waste your money.
