Q: What is the Bobcat 179 Brass Instrument Mouthpiece Puller for?

The Bobcat 179 Mouthpiece Puller is a specialized tool designed to safely remove stuck mouthpieces from brass instruments. Over time, mouthpieces can become jammed in the receiver, making them difficult or impossible to remove by hand. This puller provides the necessary leverage to extract them without causing damage to your valuable instrument.

Q: How do I use the Bobcat 179 Mouthpiece Puller?

To use the puller, first ensure its jaws are clean. Gently open the jaws and position them around the mouthpiece, ensuring a secure but not overly tight grip. Slowly turn the handle, utilizing the adjustable resistance dial to apply even, gradual pressure, pulling the mouthpiece straight out. This mechanism also helps ensure the mouthpiece won't fly across the room upon extraction. Avoid twisting or jerking motions, as this can cause damage to your instrument or mouthpiece.

Q: Can the Bobcat 179 Mouthpiece Puller damage my instrument or mouthpiece?

When used correctly, the Bobcat 179 is engineered to safely remove stuck mouthpieces without causing damage. It applies even, controlled pressure to prevent bending or scratching. However, improper use, such as applying excessive force or twisting, could potentially cause damage. Always follow the instructions carefully to protect your gear.

Q: Why should I use a dedicated mouthpiece puller instead of other methods?

Using a dedicated mouthpiece puller like the Bobcat 179 is the safest and most effective way to remove a stuck mouthpiece. Attempting to force it with pliers or other makeshift tools can easily bend the leadpipe, damage the mouthpiece, or scratch your instrument's finish. This puller provides controlled, even pressure for a secure removal.

It took less than a minute from start to finish to extract stuck mouthpiece. Purchased for beginning trombonist and his other brass playing newbies.

My youngest plays the tuba in his middle school band. He takes good care of his tuba, but there is usually one reason or another the mouthpiece gets stuck. Having this tool has been a must have- its quality material and works quickly. It's gonna pay for it itself saving time and money going to the music store.

After my wife and daughter spent a few hours trying to get the mouthpiece out, my so -in-law worked on it to no avail. I read about the Bobcat and had it shipped to me. I opened the box, read the few directions and about a minute or two later, mouthpiece was out, no scratches or dents by using the Bobcat. I had bought a cheap one at a big national chain for a third of the price. It did absolutely nothing. The Bobcat is almost 100% metal, weighs 5 times more than that garbage one I bought and it works great! I even had it shipped next day FedEx and it still was cheaper than having the music shop do it. You can't go wrong with this. Will work on most horns but not a Tuba which needs a different type puller.

It's double the cost of the junk on the prime jungle site. It's 1/15-1/20 the price of replacing your kid's trumpet, and it's 1/6 the price of getting your kid's trumpet repaired because you break the trumpet not using one.

How do I know this? My son had a trumpet with a stuck mouthpiece. I go all super sayan on the dumb thing and break it. I go, these can't be that bad, I'll buy another. Well, that's pretty salty. Take it to a repair shop and they have it in for repair. Wish I would've bought the tool sooner. Local music teacher has the cheap versions, said they've replaced them a handful of times.

Trust me on this, you do not want to be the dad that goes to the music store and explains "I went Hercules on this and broke it."
