Inexpensive graphite shaft remover

I need to get a shaft remover for my graphite shafts but dont want to spend a ton, have thought about making one out of a bottle neck jack stand, the ones I see look easy enough to make, anyone have any suggestions on things you may have tried. anyone try the mighty mouse puller? how do the golfsmith pry bars work?

Take it from someone who knows, don't buy this one off eBay.

It's useless if good epoxy has been used. The shaft slides in the rubber "gripper" instead of pulling the shaft out of the club head.

Use a propane torch on low flame, a canvas glove on the pull hand, and move the flame around the hosel area untill some epoxy smoke puffs out of the hosel, .. continue on and pull easy with the gloved hand.

Head will slide off and no damage at all will be seen on the tip of the shaft.

Beware! If others find out you can do this, they will sleep in your driveway until dawn, but will not want to pay you!

I have a prybar from golfworks I believe, and it works just fine. Just a little heat from a butane torch and the head comes right off.

I don't know, I took a gamble on this puller myself as I do not have access to a vice and wanted something I could hold in my hand.

Worked fine for everything I had put together myself (using Bramptons 5/10) and even a few OEM clubs - but I did have one driver the I bought assembled (TourSwing Octane head with Graman Limey 440) that would not budge no matter what I did or how much heat I gave it. (heat gun - no torch)

I ended up just cutting a ferrule and glueing it back on.
