Got acquainted with this last Tuesday, for taking out the engine mount. It has a funny nickname in Portuguese, "O Saca", which I quite can't find an equivalent in English (something like "The Drawer"? from the cowboy verb "to draw"). Anyway, what is its proper name in English and does it also have a nickname? And are there any other tools with interesting nicknames (and, asking too much, the stories behind them)?

Also "gear puller" or "harmonic balancer puller" are two more common Americanized English terms used for that type puller. The Portugese word makes sense, since it "draws" the part off its shaft. Scott |

Scott "O Saca" strikes a funny note to me (and that's why I asked) because it can be understood has someone who is taking something out of someone, generally not very gently... |

It's called a gear puller, maybe also wheel puller. Harmonic balancer," crankshaft torsional damper", better not be pulled with one of those. It may ruin it.
