Master mechanic contact info?

[Richcz28]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get in touch with master mechanic? I have a screwdriver looking tool with a hook on the end instead for pulling pins or whatever else. The metal shaft decided to come flying out of the handle sending me toppling over. I can't seem to find a way to get ahold of them to see if I can get a new one through warranty.

Not that I should really want a new tool that flys apart, but I feel they owe me one.

Ah, ok thanks. I had no recollection of where it came from.

a modern day version is also referred to as a hose puller.. Snappie now sells a set of 6 that I own, long and short...

I used to use cotter key pullers 25 yrs ago for doing windshield installs on the Mack trucks, still got a couple kicking around my screwdriver drawer...

The hose hooks are a different shape though....or the standard ones are at least.

yup, but the other 3 are VERY similar to a cotter key puller.. they are 90ish, not 180 like that one..


here ya go...

 

[Richcz28]

That is a nice set.

what he said, i work at a true value. might not be under warranty, but it depends really on how old the product is or if they still stock it.
