Where to buy a worm puller

[Sven]

For a couple of months I've been looking for a worm puller to get the worm of the shaft of a motor. It's impossible to do this by hand. I've seen them last year at Eileen's, but they are  out of stock. Does anyone know where to buy something like this?

Before I receive the suggestion that you can easily make them yourself: I can't, as I don't have a drill stand.

I use one of these:

But my one was purchased from a UK seller not from China. I can not find one in the UK when I looked just now.

Actually I have two as I snapped one of the inserts using excessive force when I did not notice it was twisting slightly.

These used to be available from GW Models, 11, Croshaw Close, Lancing BN15 9LE.  I don't know if they are still trading.

Thanks, I'll give the Chinese trader a try.

I bought the Chinese puller and I'm very happy with it. Took about three weeks to arrive.
