...there was one for a while ( I kept meaning to buy one) that was made by some guys in Portland. Basically, it just retapped the crank puller threads a size larger, and then you used that for the puller for the future.

Simple and adequate solution, and cheaper because you don't have the little insert thingies to make and install.

By the time I went to buy one, there was no response from the business. They either didn't sell enough of them to continue making them or they went belly up in the competitive world of bicycle parts and tool manufacturing.

It still wasn't real cheap, just cheaper. VAR makes one too, but getting VAR tools is a PIA for me as a non-professional with no business account.
