FIRSTINFO Universal Adjustable Windscreen Windshield Wiper Arm PullerI used this in an attempt to remove the wiper arm from the rear window of a VW Polo.I researched pullers extensively before deciding this one might do, and sure enough it was an OK choice. A main thing with many pullers is ensuring that the legs can go around, and actually stay in place, on the item being pulled - it this case, could and would the legs grip the wiper arm without coming off in the pulling process. Well yes, with this one.That said, its not the easiest to use with all sorts of moving parts - three hands would be good!Another thing - when pulling smaller objects, if the legs have to be close together then the wing nuts can't be turned (tightened) because they fowl on other parts of the puller. Can't tighten wing nut = can't do the job. I had to buy some allen keyed pointed bolts to replace the wing nuts before I could use it.Next - be aware - once you've got the puller on the job, and start tightening (pulling) you can exert considerable force with this tool. In my job, this was too much and ultimately the puller couldn't be used; specifically what happened is that the wiper rotor onto which the wiper arm that I was attempting to remove was fixed, is itself the water jet of the rear washer, and as such is hollow and has a hole in it. Tightening this puller resulted in me crushing the rotor and deforming it - I noticed this before doing insurmountable damage to the washer, but also before budging the wiper arm (it was on that tight)I suppose this is testament to how good a puller this could be though....(BTW I ultimately had to cut the washer arm off and grind away the remainder left on the threaded rotor)

This is quite expensive but worked very well.I used it to remove the windscreen wiper arms from a 15 year old ford, which it did easily.The plastic moulding around the base of the arms meant that this was the only tool (of the ones I saw advertised) with narrow arms that would fit.

The car was a 15yr old Ford Focus. I first repeatedly applied "WD-40 Specialist Fast Release Penetrant", lightly knocked the wiper arm joint, rocked the arm back & forth, and waited 1+hr.This did not work, so I purchased the low cost tool that has the large aluminium inverted conical knurled screw at the top. This also failed, merely distorting as the central screw was hand tightened until the tool slipped off the wiper arm. The central column ended up damaged at a non-perpendicular angle and the feet bent out of shape. It was also next to impossible to keep the tool parallel to the wiper arm bolt. This has been returned.I then tried this FIT tool (using the narrow feet) and with about one turn after initial tightening the wiper arms popped "free" (no longer seized, however more turns are required to fully loosen them). It is much heavier and more strongly built.The high leverage socket wrench hex head (13mm) appears to be a key feature for a tough job like this one. The thin cross bar of the previous tool, or the knob of some other cheaper tools would only be suited to relatively light applications.Note : the ball point M5 (~10mm of thread) wing nuts can get in the way of setting the arms very close to the central column, and this closeness is important in order to stop slippage. I was successful by first setting the arms wide, tightening the wing nuts, then backing off a small fraction of a turn, setting the arms close in, then re-tightening the wing nuts. M5 x 16mm ball point hex socket grubs screws are also readily available at very low cost as an alternative.

This gadget is heavily made and works beautifully. The only reservation I have is that the wing-head screws which hold the legs in place are quite wide and as a result I could not tighten them in the position I needed for my car. It didn't matter, though, because they were easy enough to hold in place by hand until loaded up, and if you really care about this it would be easy enough to replace them with socket head screws.Removal of each of my immovably stuck wiper arms took about 15 seconds.

I spent 4 hours using all the different cheaper pullers that I have for wipers. They were so seized on even a good old trusty hammer and punch wasn't helping.Although I was going to shy away from this purchase because of the price I'm glad I didn't.There is a substantial weight to this product. I used a 13mm socket on a 3/8 impact gun to take off the 13mm nut, applied the tool and used the same impact gun with the 13mm socket to tighten the tool. The wiper arms were off in less than a minute. Really impressed. Will definitely recomment this product to my mechanic friends.

This is a brilliant tool, I'm always sceptical when manufactures make claims about tools, but this removed an original rear wiper arm from a 17 year old car when everything else had failed. Having read the reviews, I took the precaution of replacing the wing-nuts with M5 socket-head screws. I dowsed the spindle in PlusGas, I also placed a clamp across the arms, but I needn't have bothered, it removed the arm without any effort at all. There was only a few mm gap between the arm and the shroud on the spindle, but the jaws were thin enough to fit without any problem. Highly recommended

Great tool, much better than the other types of arm remover. Hand tighting arm removers didnt seem to work well for me but this one did the trick with a spanner. Very happy.

Took the wipers off my VW golf effortlessly, easily worth the extra money compared to cheaper alternatives which break.
