Had to pick between a Bosch and a Snap-on injector puller - went cheap first

Last month I was pulling injectors on a 6.7L Powerstroke and my old puller snapped. Had to choose between a Bosch kit for $180 or a Snap-on for $340 on the truck. I grabbed the Bosch because my wallet was hurting. First two injectors came out easy but the third one stuck and the threads stripped right off. Ended up borrowing a buddy's Snap-on the next day and it yanked that stuck injector out in 5 minutes. Anyone else had luck with the cheaper pullers on rusted up engines?

Used to think paying extra for Snap-on was a waste but that stripped thread taught me different. The Bosch worked fine on the easy ones but the second things got rusty it just didn't have the same bite. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for in this trade.
