Had to choose between two injector pullers for a 6.0 Powerstroke
Picked the cheaper slide hammer set over the OTC kit and ended up snapping the tip after 3 tries on a stuck injector, what do you guys use for these jobs?

The slide hammer sets just don't have the bite for a stuck 6.0 injector... the tips are too soft and they'll twist right off under real torque. I've been running the OTC kit for about four years now and it's paid for itself five times over. You really gotta weld a nut onto the injector body when they're seized that bad, saves your puller and your knuckles. Heat the area around the injector with a torch first too, just not enough to melt anything, that carbon buildup is what locks them in.

Holy crap, you weld a nut on?! I've never tried that, @patricianguyen.
