Hi, I have the Maltby Floor Mount Regripping station and am wondering if I can use this equipment to remove graphite shafts and install adaptors. I am not doing high volumes of shaft removal so the best cost effective solution would be great
Thanks

Not sure how yo could use the Regripping station to remove graphite shafts unless you are just talking about using the clamp to hold the club. If that’s the case of course a club can be held in the clamp, but you have no safe mechanism for pulling the heads off, other than your hands. The shaft pullers provide a way to apply pressure while heating so that the head will release in straight manner right when the epoxy is heated to a point of release. Without it, you have to rely on heating and pulling manually, and that is more difficult and usually leads to more shafts being lost or damaged in the process.
Apologies if I am not understanding exactly what your asking.

if cost is a factor you might try this:

it will require a bench vise.
I built one several years ago and it worked fine. Just need to keep the pads clean otherwise it will slip.
I currently use GW1009, and it’s the nuts. But again it’s pretty expensive for casual use.
GW1112 is a good choice for around $100 (bench vise required also).
Hi Britt,
Thank you for your help. What I was wondering is if there is a cost effective shaft puller that could attach to my regripping station when I need it. I was hoping not to have to spend $300-$400 on a unit when I might need it 5-10 times a year. I see there are options on the golfworks site, but not really sure what would work best
