Now I need a 16mm to work on a Stronglight, and I will probably go the Craftsman way online ordering a single one (and paying hey for shipping; but I got to dish $45 for the crankpuller anyways, so...)
I have the same crank puller, BTW the ice tools socket is a standard 3/8th's drive, so I just pop a short extender on my regular socket wrench add the crank socket and away I go. I can get a lot more positive grip then monkeying with the crank puller and an adjustable wrench.
