App Concept
ShaftSaver Rust Breaker
A specialized hydraulic puller kit designed for tapered shafts on agricultural and lawn care equipment. It applies controlled, high-force pulling while simultaneously applying penetrating oil under pressure, safely separating seized components without bending or breaking parts.
Key Features
- Integrated hydraulic ram with pressure gauge for precise force application
- Penetrating oil injection port at the shaft interface
- Interchangeable adapters for various taper sizes
- Heat-resistant ceramic heating element to expand the outer part
Target Users: Farmers, ranchers, lawn care business owners, and equipment repair shops maintaining old bush hogs, mowers, and PTO-driven implements.
Revenue Model: $249 one-time purchase for the kit, $19 for replacement penetrating oil cartridges.
