    My old OTR truck had a Jost with the "no lube" plate insert (whatever the proper term is for that.) No slop at all and had a nice smooth puller. Company i work for now uses all Hollands. I don't like the pullers on them as much and they seem more mechanically complicated. (I like loud "clank" noise they make though when they lock shut.)
