Yeah, this was my concern. A little light working with a dremel
grinder would probably do the trick. I understand the hesitation to go
grinding on a highly stressed puller like this though. Looks like
Stahlwille has some of the right jaw size, if I can find a US
distributor...

Any other tricks for using these other than those listed in
