I owned that exact tie rod puller. I got it from JC Whitney for free
when I ordered my MGB soft top. The good news is that you are getting
them at a low price. They are inexpensive (and for a good reason!) and
will strip the threads out of the body on the first difficult tie rod
you encounter. BTDT.
If you need a serious tie rod end puller, this puller is worth the price
of admission:

I have actually used both. The 'you get what you pay for' maxim applies
to tools. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I didn't want anyone
thinking they were going to be saving the world with a $10 tie rod puller.
FWIW, my my free tie rod puller stripped the threads, I drilled out the
body and retapped it for a 1/2", fine thread bolt.
