I hope to buy some of Alan's neat tools like the grease packer set soon and I'll see what else I can find.

I have a Penn wrench. How much is the bearing packer and do you still sell the needle and adapter set?

Do you have one of these Penn wrenches??

DC, if you don't have one of these, many here certainly vouch that this is the way to go if you work on Penn reels.  One of the best ways I spent $15 on.

I would also recommend the mini bearing puller by Reelspeed if you can find it.

Yes, But do you have Alan's penn wrench? There is no comparison. It will take off the stubbornest of handle nuts! ;D
It is Heavy Duty!(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag93/darondyer/IMG_2129_zps82a27785.jpg)

Those rabbits got all used up! ;D I'm waiting on Lee's hand to heal before I put another order in. ;)

No I don't have Alan's wrench. Mine is a long wrench with different size holes for different reels. I don't plan on working on Penns as of now. I will mostly buy lots of broken reels, mainly low profile reels for now. After the replies I got about my lubricants question, I probably don't need the packer for now. Most of the reels I will repair will more than likely be used in fresh water so most of the bearings can be oiled. I will ask the buyer to make sure. Shark Hunter, what are those other tools in the pic?

Stainless Senator Handles. A Guy her named Lee makes them. His screen name is Keta. We just call them Keta Kranks. ;D
