FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Power-TEC Lateral Tension Puller?
Its main purpose is to provide controlled pulling and tensioning force on automotive body panels for repair and alignment work, especially when used with glue pulling systems.
Can this puller be used for pushing as well as pulling?
The puller arms are reversible via a quick-change system, allowing them to be turned around to facilitate both outward pulling and inward tensioning or bracing.
What accessories are recommended for use with this puller?
It is designed to work with Power-TEC Lateral Tension Glue Puller Pads (92736), the Gluematic Glue Gun (91237), and glue sticks (92342). Multi-Angle Pull Mounts (92737) can also be used for increased access.
Can I use any glue gun with this puller?
While it can physically be attached to various setups, it is specifically optimized for use with the Power-TEC Gluematic Glue Gun (91237) and their compatible glue sticks and puller pads for the best results.
How do I adjust the tension?
Tension is adjusted using the simple screw knob on the bridge. For more precise control or increased torque, a 3/8” drive ratchet can be attached to the knob.
What is the difference between this 250mm model and the larger ones?
The primary difference is the reach and leverage. The 250mm model is for more localized repairs, while the 450mm and 900mm models are designed for larger areas or when greater leverage is needed.
How should I clean and maintain the puller?
Clean off any debris or glue residue with a cloth after use. Store in a dry place. Ensure the screw adjuster threads are clean and free of obstructions for smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Screw adjuster is stiff or difficult to turn
Clean the threads of the screw adjuster thoroughly to remove any debris or dried glue. Apply a light lubricant suitable for metal components if necessary.
Puller arms do not lock securely
Ensure the quick-change mechanism is fully engaged. Inspect the mechanism for any damage or obstructions that might prevent a secure lock.
Insufficient pulling force
Verify that the tool is being used with compatible glue puller pads and glue. Ensure the pulling point is secure. Consider using a ratchet for more controlled and potentially higher force application. For very large or stubborn areas, a larger model (450mm or 900mm) may be required.
Tool slips during use
Ensure the puller arms are properly seated against the surface or pulling point. Clean the contact surfaces of both the puller arms and the workpiece for better grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile inward and outward pulling capability.
- Robust aluminium construction for durability.
- Easy-to-use screw adjuster with ratchet option.
- Designed for integration with a system of related tools.
- Compact 250mm size suitable for various applications.
Cons
- Optimal performance relies on using compatible Power-TEC accessories.
- May require specific glue puller pads for certain tasks.
- Larger pulling jobs may necessitate the use of longer models (450mm or 900mm).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the tensioner, attach the puller arms to the main bridge. Ensure the quick-change system is securely locked. For outward pulling, position the arms against the surface or anchor point. For inward pulling, reverse the arms using the quick-change mechanism. Connect your chosen pulling accessory (e.g., a glue tab attached with a glue gun) to the workpiece. Adjust the screw knob to apply tension. For enhanced control, attach a 3/8” drive ratchet to the adjuster knob.
Compatibility: This 250mm puller is specifically designed for use with:
- Power-TEC Lateral Tension Glue Puller Pads (Part No. 92736)
- Gluematic Glue Gun (Part No. 91237)
- Glue Sticks (Part No. 92342)
- Power-TEC Multi-Angle Pull Mounts (Part No. 92737) for increased access.
Larger sizes (450mm and 900mm) are available under Part Nos. 92734 and 92735, respectively.
Care: After each use, clean the puller arms and adjuster knob to remove any debris or glue residue. A dry or slightly damp cloth is typically sufficient. Store the tool in a clean, dry environment to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation of the screw adjuster. Periodically check the quick-change system for smooth operation.
