I hit the flat piece of my bench vise with the puller ..very effective

Funny, I have no problem using the end grain of a 2x4 on my bench.
But maybe I'm gifted that way?

Buy a kinetic puller, then you'll have it. They're only $20.
A berdan puller is a good bit more, and what are the chances you'll use it again?

EDIT: Hmm, not sure how I missed the post above?
For the future, I find the puller works better with a sharp rap rather than a a power stroke like you're driving spikes. Still takes a good hit, but more speed from your wrist, as opposed to power from your arm.

Yes, I found quickly that a quick and sharp as opposed to forcefully driving a spike works best. The instruction sheet advised when using a concrete surface, do not strike as hard as damage to the tool may result. As I said, I have a leftover piece of laminated American Beech from a stock build that is very dry and hard that makes a suitable sound block.

And a question for the rest of you reading this posting.

Who of you would like to hit a certain unnamed individual over the head with his rock he uses with his kinetic bullet puller.

I pound mine on the concrete basement floor my reloading bench rests on along with the entire house above me. I could even use my basement block walls...........because they are rock solid.
I have to go now my head hurts.........and I'm going to look for a big rock.

I'll try to be a little more delicate than you have but in reality how much harder can a rock be than my concrete basement floor?
