Frankford Arsenal Pile Driver Projectile Puller, Easy Pull Handle, Standard and Magnum Carrier Assembly, for Reloading and Gunsmithing

Works great, usually requires 2 cycles to get the bullet out. Tried it on 32Gr .204 Ruger up to 180Gr .308. Zero marks on projectile, fast operation. Two small issues, it’s loud in operation, annoys girlfriend and dogs. Cats are chill with it. The included mounting screws are very soft metal, one stripped very easy, replaced with one from my stash so problem solved.

This thing WILL remove a bullet. Let me tell you though, it is loud. First time I used it the wife came running in my gun room thinking I had a gun go off!!

Really great product. Cheaply made but functional. I unboxed it, mounted it and pulled about 100 rounds that I screwed up. I read a few bad reviews and had none of those problems, I feel the bad reviews are from user error, read the directions and follow them to the T. Only problem I had is the powder/bullet trap does not protect the bullets very well, the bullets come out with such force that it Pierces the foam and dents the tip of bullet. Just buy you a clear hose and make a trap of your own. Other then that great product and easy to use

1st. Put Locktite on the cartridge carrier locking device bolt. It is likely to loosen, best to just do this 1st and let it dry 2nd. Sheetrock is not a sufficient backer. Even with anchors the Piledriver will loosen up as the Sheetrock gets jolted over and over. 3rd. Get longer high quality wood screws like 2" deck screws if you mount this on a Sheetrock wall. You may need washers as well. The included screws do not engage the studs enough when used through Sheetrock. Now the review: Superior in every possible way to my collet puller and impact hammer. I had a contaminated batch of 308 Winchester and pulled 240 + bullets in under an hour. My setup included a piece of hose routed into a container and the Piledriver mounted to my garage wall at just under chest height. Load round, activate the tool 3 times, remove carrier and use a nut driver to quickly wiggle the empty cartridge from the shell holder, repeat. Could not be easier.

I saw this awhile back and thought , yeah right, plastic junk. Then in an online conversation with another reloader he mentioned that he had one and liked it. I figured I'd give it a shot, after all it's Amazon and I could easily return it. I tried it and it's NOT going back! It does need to be mounted vertically and to a solid surface. I mounted mine to the window frame in my gun room, I also used a piece of 5/8" ID clear tubing to run to a catch container. So far I tried .38 and .357 lead and jacketed, 30-06,30-30, 300BO 9mm, .45ACP and 5.56. Most bullets seemed to take two 'strikes' with the exception of 5.56 they popped out in one. If your like me and just toss all the rejects into a bin to get around to someday, well someday is here! I have about 25 years of rejected rounds to do, I know what I'll be doing this winter.

I don't really know what to say except if you need to disassemble a round this is the tool to use. For me its a lot easier and works better if you attach a hose to it instead of the little container the round falls in cause it has a piece of foam but it still dented the little plastic tips of some rifle rounds.

Frankly, I'd had it with the hammer-style bullet pullers. I recently had to pull a 158gr Remington JSP which was roll crimped from a .357 magnum case. As I repeatedly whacked the garage floor with that plastic mallet, this jacketed soft point began to shed its core. Each succesive whack resulted in the lead core elongating and oozing from the jacket like turkish taffy. The jacket never came free, so both the case and the bullet were ruined. Then I saw this Frankford Arsenal thing on you tube. I figured it had to be better than wasting time hammering my garage floor, so I took the plunge. I inserted one round from the lot giving me trouble, and I operated the handle. If you haven't seen this thing demo'd on youtube, have a look. I inserted the problem round into the carrier, and four pulls later, I had both an undamaged bullet and case in my hand. In my opinion, the Frankford Arsenal Pile Driver is worth its weight in gold. What a time saver! BTW, I have no association with Frankford Arsenal, I purchased the product at full price, and I wasn't compensated in any way for this review.

Don't waste your $$. Doesn't hold rounds securely. They slip from the collett into the catch bin. Made some adjustments and got it semi working and then one of the arm connectors broke.

worked for about 80 rounds, very effective tool but the plastic catching collet broke. I engineered a new collet out of copper plumbing supplies and seems to be fine now. Most people do not need to pull many bullets, in my case I have to decap around 1500 rounds of old dead ammo...for volume you will need to do some engineering. I have gone over many reviws and after over 2400 rounds of 9 mm, 9 major, 38 super and .40, I say this stands the test...yes it is loud
