I'm thinking of ordering one of these...amazingly simple but seem like they would work very well.
http://grip-n-pull.com/ Think I may have to order one of those. Thanks for the link!
ETA - Just ordered one of these. I'll try it out and post some initial impressions.
Just thought I'd update this.
I ordered and received one of these shortly after my post and have been using it regularly ever since. It's a simple, easy to use product that works as advertised. I've never used a collet puller so can't comment if this is better, but I'll never use my inertia puller again!
