Description

Glow Plug Puller Set with Slide Hammer and Internal Extractor

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade glow plug extraction system designed for diesel engine technicians who encounter broken or seized glow plugs. The set combines external grip extractors with a slide hammer mechanism and—critically—an internal puller for recovering plugs that have snapped below the hex connection point. This addresses one of the most challenging removal scenarios: partial breaks where the upper hex section remains in the cylinder head. If you regularly encounter severely damaged glow plugs, pair this with a glow plug re-threading solution to restore damaged threads after extraction.

Key Features

  • Dual External Grip Extractors: Two chrome socket-style adapters (7.7mm and 6.8mm internal diameter) with corresponding tapered collets for gripping intact or partially intact plugs
  • Three Contraction Collet Sizes: 5.0mm (size 3), 3.6mm (size 2), and 2.7mm (size 1) for precision fitting around plug bodies of varying diameters
  • Slide Hammer with Removable Weight: Chrome shaft with black rubber grip and cylindrical sliding mass for controlled impact extraction without hammer blows to the engine block
  • Internal Puller: Specialized tool specifically designed to extract plugs that have fractured below the hex connection—the critical feature that sets this apart from basic pullers
  • Organized Carry Case: Blue molded plastic case with snap latches and integrated handle; each component secured in custom compartments for job-site protection and easy transport

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Margin Service Tool: Glow plug extraction often involves callbacks or extended labor. This set justifies a premium charge and reduces comebacks by solving difficult removals on the first attempt.
  • Recurring Revenue: Broken glow plugs are chronic in older diesel engines. Shops that own this tool perform more extractions, more profitably.
  • Complete Solution: The internal puller eliminates the need to refer customers elsewhere for severely broken plugs—you retain the entire job, including re-threading if necessary.
  • Professional Presentation: Branded carry case reinforces shop credibility and makes the tool a visible asset during diagnostics.
  • Low Wear: The slide hammer design minimizes damage to surrounding components, reducing risk of secondary repairs and customer disputes.

Why This Matters

Broken glow plugs aren't a "nice-to-have" problem—they're an inevitability in diesel service work. Most technicians resort to destructive drilling or risky techniques. This set eliminates guesswork:

  • The internal puller is the differentiator: it retrieves fragments that other pullers cannot reach.
  • The three collet sizes ensure you're never without the right grip diameter.
  • The slide hammer provides controlled force, reducing collateral damage to the cylinder head.
  • The carry case keeps tools organized and ready, eliminating setup delays between jobs.

For shops handling diesel fleet maintenance or older truck engines, this set becomes a workhorse. For distributors, it's a natural upsell to shops already buying diesel service tools.

Recommended Pairing

  • Add glow plug connector removal pliers for shops requiring full connector disconnect during extraction.
  • Stock alongside re-threading kits to offer complete damage recovery.
