That $90 injector puller saved my whole week in Reno
Picked up the OTC injector puller after fighting a stuck 6.0 for two days with a slide hammer and heat. The tool paid for itself by Friday when I pulled all 8 injectors in under 3 hours. My old method would've had me drilling out at least one. Anyone found a cheaper setup that works as good, or am I stuck buying the name brand every time?

Man, that's the thing about quality tools, they just show up when you need them most. It's like the universe rewards you for not cheaping out, you know? I've noticed that pattern everywhere, not just in the shop. The cheap version of anything, be it a tool or a phone charger, always fails at the worst possible moment. You end up paying twice, once for the junk and again for the time you waste fighting it. That $90 probably felt steep, but it bought you a whole weekend back, which is worth way more. So yeah, I think you're stuck buying the good stuff, but it's really just buying your own time back. What's the next tool on your list that you refuse to go cheap on?
