any feedback on the two different wheel pullers at the Olsen toy train parts site, or any others that can be recommended?

looks like they are for O gauge (upper) and STD gauge (lower) size wheels.

The upper one looks like a modified battery terminal puller, which can be found at any hardware store in an unmodified configuration.  One note on this one, if it is a battery terminal puller, the jaws would need to be modified, as they would be too thick to properly get between the wheel and frame if not modified.  The detail of this photo does not show how thick the jaws are.  

The lower one looks like it is adjustable to smaller wheels and is simply shown on a standard gauge engine.  This one looks to have thin jaws, but the detail of the photo is not great.

The Timco one looks good, as it looks to be made of hard steel with thin jaws that should be easy to get between the wheels and the engine frames.  I might have to look into one of these.  Gunrunnerjohn where did you get this from?
