- This video goes a little more in depth on how to make a frame puller out of a harbor freight shop crane. This is great to use if you flip salvage or crashed cars.

I MADE THIS a few years ago and have fixed three cars. We did a few modifications but we like it. The oil does drip!
Nice pulling arm, I like the idea. Inexpensive and it serves the purpose.
thankyou. saved so much building my own identical to yours. Very creative. thanks again this is fixing my truck that was crashed to the point of being totaled but now i have faith I can fix it myself with this tool. keep up the awesome ideas.
westin smith that’s awesome! Glad it helped you. I would love to see some rebuild videos of the truck with it. Just be careful, pulling truck parts may be too much stress for this puller to handle. Safety first.
you did not say if it has fix your truck
I love the safety sandals
This is genius man. Why the hell didn’t I think of this.
Awesome video I was planning on buying the metal and making one my self and ran into this and seem way easier.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Your a person like me .Love your DIY frame puller
Thank you very much for the video . Very helpful. I made similar one from scratch .
Awesome man. It’s so nice to see people who think like I do haha😂. Great job on this might try it on my old engine hoist
Nice job thank you for sharing
Thank u brother very smart way and idea I love it
This is great im trying to build something like this for glue pulling and body work ..... thanks
Well done my man. Thanks
I would like to see more videos on this please
What are the air components attached to the 8-ton air hydraulic jack? Thanks. This is brilliant.
That's freaking sweet
My cousing made one of these but way bigger and ive been looking for one thats not to big so i can move it around and this one is perfact i need to make one.
Ernesto Paz it’s super easy. If you need any help feel free to reach out any time and I can take detailed pictures for you. Good luck!
How do you pull down or at a lower angle? Like the lower B-pillar because it looks like the chain will be at an upward angle?
This some u cud sale fr alot people need cheap dent puller exspeshly for radiator upper tie bar I have brand new lift just needs a new jack cus it broke bwn sitting around and u just gave good ideal I was o ready thanking using make dent puller wasn't quite shore this help me out alot I get cars from auction this make pulling dents way easer
You need a video of this thing in action
So i see how you can grab the vehicle to keep it from sliding, but do you have any idea how you can grab it if you're pulling the very front end of the rails to a side?
Can you tell me what should we do so when we use it, it doesn't lift itself off the ground?
How did you ad the end piece with the chain on it and what was the length
Great idea, thank you! Can you show us how to keep the car from moving while pulling it? thanks again!
Antonio Martinez I usually anchor it to suspension parts or I build a pinch weld clamp that I can chain it to as well.
Great idea
Well, 2 things. You need a spotter. You can make your own. 2 car batteries in parallel (total amps 1150-1200 amps). My friend has a video on how to make a spotter. He beat me to it. The other thing. Check out Sprex Japan's Prullax. Or Stanzani art 770. For another way to connect it to the car for pulling out dents....Thanks for the video.....Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!
frogmanvc I finally pulled the trigger on one and bought it off of ebay. They save so much time I couldn’t stand my stud welder any more. It was only 370 so I figured between buying two batteries then the gun I was better off just buying 1. Couldn’t be happier with it.
I built mine out of crane that mounts to the deck of a small pick up truck. I have a engine crane similar to the ones sold by HF in the US. Thats a far better use for them ,i find they wriggle too much when lifting the types of engines i rebuild.. and i reckon they are pretty unstable. I prefer to use the same old thing I've had for years.
Mercmad that’s awesome!! That was my original idea but then I decided to go this route.
Genius!
hello, could you share the measurements to make one here, I live in Brazil and I really liked your project, thank you
Where you get the accessorie that goes on the pinch welds ?
Love this set up!
Any chance you could show a vid of it in use, next time you do so?
splash sure I’ll try to take a quick video Sunday I just scooped up a 2018 gle from auction

Nice! Thank you, i really appreciate it. Sounds like you got a nice score
You could extend the end of that with another square tubing that goes over the bottom of the square tubing that's on
use it cause I'm new at this frame work but I don't see how or what you would pull with that thang
The jack that I have it’s 3 ton is it enough to pull out?
you are awesome thanks
Romell Yarde thanks!! 👍🏼
Could we see it in action?
very nice
Could you demonstrate the puller the frame puller thank you
Do you have a video of it making some actual pulls would love to see how it works thanks 👍🏽
exactly
That's bad ass
What are the measurements would love to make one
Have you got more movies or photos. I want to do IT.
How do you attach it to the car underneath? Meaning a normal frame machine connects to the pinch welds
triblackcorvette I either chain it to the suspension or I have a pinch weld clamp that I made that I chain it to. It’s not pretty but it’s cheap and it works
Awsome
You maybe have a plan with measurements of a little plan of the puller
Badass...
SO WERE DO YOU CONNECT IT TO TO PULL
Looks like a simple weld job build
primalfury2011 very simple! You just weld the two feet on and cut and weld the jack anchor about 4” back
Yet you call it a frame puller! Aside from that it is a pretty sweet tool you built though. Good work.
Hola, desde Chile Santiago, saludos, podría mostrar como sujeta al vehículo la parte inferior, gracias
how to u keep puller from moving and being fixed to body of car
Where is these clamp made out of??
What size tubes did you use?
Gabriel Solis it was from a 2 ton harbor freight shop crane. I think it’s 2.5” or 3” but I will have to measure it to be sure. The square tubing isn’t very thick so I haven’t pushed my luck and try to pull anything real heavy
Yeah but how are you strapped in the car down
What are the dimentions so i can weld one
La verdad me gustó mucho ya tengo todo el material para aserlo pero que medidas tiene
I build these same set up but the whole Machine lift up from the back And it moves forward, what am I missing
It needs a crossbar with pinch weld clamps to attach to the vehicle
great idea... but i'd make one outa raw tubing, and a portapower, cost less especially if you already have pp
Dennis Faugh that’s what I wanted to do but I couldn’t get the steel cheap enough. I’m going to build puller 2.0 from scratch with thicker steel so I can pull some jacked up front rails or trunk pans
We need more info and detail, parts etc.
thanks for help , my question how may tone engine crane I have to used 1,2,3 ? thanks
It was a 2 ton engine crane
I want to see it in action.
Anyone got plans they could share , wanting to build one
Yes please show us how to attach to the car? Thanks
Juan Farias I either chain it to the suspension or I chain it to a pinch weld clamp that I made. It ain’t pretty but it’s cheap and it works well lol.
@@GLeszega any way to see how it looks chained to pinch weld. And what did you make clamp from
that's a regular engine lift in transverse position
He's have to build lots of concrete anchors in the floor
primalfury2011 I mostly anchor it to suspension parts and I also made a pinch weld clamp that I can use to anchor it to as well. I couldn’t bring myself to cut anchor holes into the concrete in my garage since the house is brand new.
Hi Can you give me exact measurements and metal thickness I would like to bulit one thanks
Marwan Jasin sorry but I don’t know the thickness of the metal. Most of it was already pre fab’ed since I made it using a harbor freight 2 ton shop crane.
Yes, how do you attach to a car ?
Misha I either chain it to the suspension or I chain it to a pinch weld clamp that I made. It ain’t pretty but it’s cheap and it works lol
Where did you bought the jack?, I would like to have one jack like the one you use for this project.
Clinton Snow harbor freight sku 94562 it’s around $95
Okay, thanks for the information, I appreciate it.
Can you pull quarter pannel skins with it pretty well?
Yeah it will pull a quarter panel. I just chain it to the suspension then pull it
Please make a diy video of this you will get millions of viewers
Very cool thinking, but since you replaced the HF piston and cut up the rails and re welded brackets, why not just get a few pieces of metal stock from Industrial Supply shop and build it the way you really wanted, seems this way you paid a very high price for a few pcs of tubing. Not a flame brother, just wondering what I'm missing here
Ever Forward your absolutely right. I was looking for a metal supply place for a couple months before I built this but I couldn’t find anything local. I was able to get the shop crane at a large discount since it was returned that is why I decided to take this route.
A day after I wrote my comment that thought came to mind when I saw a discounted 1 ton crane at my HF cause it was missing one of the legs and casters. To bad you dont have a local steel supply with all those great ideas and welding talent you have have. Theresa huge steel supply yard in the town next to me, everything from 1 x 1/8 stripsto 8x8 square tubing, thin & thick metal sheeting, if I had your welding talent Id build me a tank or at least a proper engine hoist. Expensive though to buy and shipping cost impossible.
So hers to the "Mad Mechanic" in you!
Buenas noches quiero Aser un docer igual que el del video pero que medias tiene xfavor
Cool idea... but you could have shown to us has actual application for us to see if it works.
So you can't do any downward pulls with it
You could if you welded a pulley towards the bottom end.
vqfive my setup for pulling down is soooo ghetto lol I wasn’t going to mention it. I have a pulley with a bolt through it that I put a chain around the bottom rail and route the chain through it. It’s not pretty but it’s worked 3 separate times for me when I had to pull down. Most of the time when you have to adjust something down a 2x4 and sledge do the trick.
GLeszega Hi do you have any update on this machine? I’ve been thinking about building something similar using an engine hoist
94562 discontinued 8(
Make another video bro..
Why a practical demonstration not shown?
This is a copy of the "Damage Dozer" we used to use in the 70's. Only this is about 1/3 the size and one third of the power. And the reason the Damage Dozer became obsolete is because most cars went with uni-body construction (body and frame are all sheet metal and integrated , instead of a steel frame which is separate and the body bolts on to it.) When you have a uni-body construction , the force of any collision impact is dispersed throughout the body. This means that to get the collision damage out you need to anchor the entire car on a rack and use multiple pull points to straighten it out. This little puller is practically useless because you can't anchor it to anything...you need a way to install floor pots and a way to prevent the car from moving while you pull. It's because businesses can sell junk like this to people who don't know anything and have no skills that the auto body trade is being de- valued and is dying out.
It looks good needs bit of work such as attachments safety paint
What about a patent
Introduce it to industry
Could make a buck or a million.
I hope u patent that before u showed this buddy . Some smart ass will steal it..
Mucho verbo usalo ! Asi no vas a reparar nada hablando
No lo sabes usar ?? Demuestra como funciona 👎
How do you attach this to the car? Pointless video
if you need him to show u everything from a to z then go buy frame machine with manual.
@@unknowntyr1246 yeh smart @ss. That cam only pull fender or quarter panel. Not a rail or subframe in any way. So yes my question remain how do you attach this to the car. Im guessing the car need to be chained tonthe floor. And i do have a frame machine a real one that anchors the cars to it. My question is a valid one because viewerws that dont know would prob like to know.
