This guide compares 4 seal pullers by hook tips, handle, finish, vehicles and warranty, so the one you order fits the seals on your car.

Compared on paper

We copy each listing’s rated specs exactly as the manufacturer gives them; as of 5 November 2026. Where a listing contradicts itself, both figures are shown.

How the points were given

Each puller is scored out of 10 on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on our How We Pick page. None states a UL, ETL or CSA listing, so all score zero on safety. Two state a warranty term: the Lisle lists a Limited Lifetime warranty and the DURATECH lists a 2 Year Manufacturer warranty.

The displayed number is the weighted point total scaled linearly between 9.2 and 9.8. Earning more points is the only way up.

What the listings tell you

We read 4 seal puller listings. All 4 list two hook tips or two sizes. Two state a warranty term, the Lisle with a Limited Lifetime warranty and the DURATECH with a 2 Year Manufacturer warranty, and 2 state no warranty term. Only 1 states a hook thickness figure, the XUDYVCO at 30% thicker than regular models. Two state a handle length, the Lisle at 12-1/2 inches and the ecocstm at 12 inches. None states a safety listing.

Buying guide: the best hub seal puller

Hook tips and sizes

Two tips cover more seals than one. All 4 listings here give two tips or two sizes: the Lisle gives two size tips, the XUDYVCO and ecocstm give dual hook tips in two sizes, and the DURATECH gives dual-size hook tips. The XUDYVCO is the only one that states a thickness figure, with tips 30% thicker than regular models, and it warns the pointed tips may bend on hard metal with a lot of force. Match the tip to the seal edge before you pry.

Handle and leverage

Leverage comes from handle length. The Lisle lists a 12-1/2 inch handle and the ecocstm lists a 12-inch handle, while the XUDYVCO describes a long handle without a figure and the DURATECH states no handle length. The XUDYVCO grip uses PVC impregnation for a non-slip effect, and the ecocstm lists an ergonomic handle. A longer handle pulls a tight seal with less force on your hands.

Finish and rust

Seal pullers live in oily drawers, so finish matters. The XUDYVCO is chrome-plated and the listing says it resists rust and wipes clean of grease. The ecocstm has a black chrome finish that the listing says prevents rust and corrosion. The DURATECH has a blackened and chrome finish with the same claim. The Lisle states no finish, so wipe it down after the job and keep it oiled.

Warranty

Two listings state a warranty term. The Lisle lists a Limited Lifetime warranty, and the DURATECH lists a 2 Year Manufacturer warranty. The XUDYVCO states no warranty term, and the ecocstm lists none either. A warranty term tells you how long the maker stands behind the steel, so check it before you order.

Garage Fit Check

• Check the seal size before you order: all 4 listings here give two hook tips or two sizes for oil and grease seals.
• Keep the puller in the toolbox drawer with your pry bars: the Lisle weighs 0.2 pounds and the longest listing measures 14.5 inches.
• Check handle length against the job: the Lisle lists a 12-1/2 inch handle and the ecocstm a 12-inch handle.
• Wipe the finish after the job: the XUDYVCO, ecocstm and DURATECH list rust-resistant finishes, while the Lisle states no finish.
• Read the warranty line before you buy: the Lisle lists a Limited Lifetime warranty and the DURATECH a 2 Year Manufacturer warranty.

FAQ: garage tools

What is a hub puller?

A hub puller is a tool for removing a wheel hub, while the tools here are hub seal pullers: they hook the edge of an oil or grease seal and pry it out of the hub or housing. None of these listings mentions a slide hammer; they work by leverage on the handle. Our hub puller vs bearing puller comparison explains the difference.

How does a wheel hub puller work?

For these seal pullers, the ecocstm listing describes the method: insert one of the dual hooked tips into the seal edge and gently pry up using leverage. The hook catches the seal, and the handle gives the leverage to lift it out.

How do you use a hub seal puller without a slide hammer?

Hook the seal edge with one of the dual tips and pry up with the handle, as the ecocstm listing describes. The Lisle lists two size tips for reaching in, and the XUDYVCO lists tips with different curves and angles for tight spaces. Work around the seal edge and lift it out evenly.

Do seal pullers damage bearings?

The ecocstm listing says its puller removes automotive seals and grease seals without damaging bearings. The other listings do not address bearings, so keep the hook on the seal edge and off the bearing behind it.
