Shaft Clamp Advise

After a lot of use my Shaft Clamp has given out. It is an older Golfsmith Model and the rubber that holds the shafts in place has lost its holding ability....

Rickochet didn't they stop him from selling those?

I think so. The asshat Rex mentioned earlier who claimed patent rights on all pullers caused him enough grief to quit marketing them. I picked mine up on FGI flea market from a clubmaker who retired.

LBlack14 I never saw any ads from JB after that incident, so I assume he was served notice, and took it seriously. He was selling tons of them. Steve had no notice, and continued on without problem.

I saw the approved patent app, with the drawings/blueprints for the hydraulic puller system. I'm no attorney, but I'm quite skeptical as to how it was approved for ALL hydraulic puller systems. It was nothing remotely close to this type puller. The only one I ever saw for sale was priced above $600, iirc.

New clamp has been ordered. I like that Golfworks lets you check out with PayPal. It was basically free to me since I actually had a balance in my account.🤣

As I recall I was gathering up parts to build one based on some info Rex sent me about Steve's pullers and about that time FGIer BacknWack retired and posted a JBPro for sale which I snagged. I think that was about the time Rex sent me the clamp.
