Odd, but glad to see that the tool did the job that I intended it to do. When developing that extractor I have about 15 different prototypes, this version is the simplest and easiest to use.

Here is a picture of my LNE bearing puller... It has four exceptional welds.

That is how all of the welds I have seen in pictures look. Mine is clearly not of the same quality. I wouldn't have thought of it being counterfeit, but I recently saw a documentary about aircraft parts and electronics that woke me up to how extensive the problem is.
