I am wondering if my tool kit is actually a counterfeit. The box was sealed and had all of the correct labeling, but my cat can do better welds.


I'd have my cat repair it, but even with the welds broken, it worked fine.

I suppose that to a counterfeiter it actually is just $20 in metal chunks.

This part of the puller has no load during extraction, in fact, the load holds these pieces together.. How did it break?

It may not be real, hard to say, most everything we've done has been ripped off at this point. I just had to file another Patent application today.
