Golf Shaft Extractor
Our local pro left for greener pastures, and, due to Covid, we haven't found a replacement. Therefore, I am looking at picking up a cheap exactor to do my own minor fiddling around - mainly removing tips from shafts.

I have the Golf Mechanix one and its perfect for my needs. I didn't pay that price tag though (much cheaper - ozgolf special)
I agree, more attention and care needs to be used when using these type of extractors.

I started with a roberts hydraulic, then ended up building my own.
