Tube Puller Needed

[Bob Jackson]

Beware of applying too much pressure with these (voice of experience). Also, they won't fit in really tight spaces due to the angle of the pincers. 

I made a DIY set of pullers that operate 100% "vertically" by dipping a pair of ordinary kitchen tongs in the stuff H/W stores sell for applying or renewing rubber grips on pliers, etc. It's sort of like liquid rubber. Just dip the tongs in it (one side at a time), and let dry. Thickness is controlled by how many "dips" are done.

Works for me.

  I agree with John, these work great for pulling hard
  to reach tubes.
