Used OTC Manual & Tool-Room Equipment and Machinery for Sale

OTC traces its industrial tool heritage to the early twentieth century, when Owatonna Tool Company began building specialized pulling and pressing equipment for maintenance shops. Over the decades the brand became a standard name in mechanical and hydraulic force tools, and today OTC tools are produced under OTC Industrial Technologies, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, with a catalog that still emphasizes American forging and durable shop-grade construction.

The flagship product families are the Grip-O-Matic pullers, available in 2-jaw and 3-jaw configurations and in manual or hydraulic versions, along with Push-Puller sets that thread directly into tapped holes or work with bearing splitters. Common catalog models include the 1020 and 1021 one-ton pullers, the 1022 and 1023 two-ton pullers with reversible jaws, the 1024 and 1026 five-ton pullers, the 927 ten-ton push-puller, the 938 seventeen-and-a-half-ton push-puller, and the 1038 seven-ton Grip-O-Matic puller. Bearing splitters such as the 1123 and the 1675 and 1676 puller sets round out the line, and hydraulic rams, pumps, and internal pulling attachments extend the same system to heavier jobs.

These tools serve maintenance and repair operations across automotive service, heavy truck and fleet shops, steel mills, mining, oilfield and petrochemical plants, power generation, and general industrial MRO. Anywhere press-fit bearings, gears, pulleys, shafts, pinions, and outer races must be removed or installed without heat or damage, OTC pullers and splitters are part of the standard tool crib.

On the used market, buyers seek OTC pullers because the forged jaws and cross-blocks hold up to repeated high-force work, replacement parts and attachments remain widely available, and the modular system lets one set of rams and splitters cover many jobs. Used OTC bearing separator and push-puller sets in particular offer a low-cost way to add complete pulling capability to a shop, and their resale value stays strong because the tooling is simple, rebuildable, and not tied to a single machine platform.

Manual and tool-room machines are the general-purpose machine tools that keep a shop running alongside its CNC equipment — manual knee mills, engine lathes, drill presses, radial and gun drills, bar feeders, and other tool-room equipment. These machines handle setup work, maintenance, one-off jobs, and secondary operations that don't justify a CNC. Meadoworks regularly stocks tool-room and manual equipment from plant closures and shop liquidations across North America.
