It will engage all threads during installation, hence no thread damage at all and it is very cheap to make. Mine cost me $17 for the pieces.

I recommend always using the Correct tool that is designed for the jobs.. using one off or Universal tool are not always the next best tool.
Many shops or store will rent a Balancer pull, but they are usually just 2 or 3 jaw pullers.. I would makes sure that it is designed for the GM Gen III/IV and late Chrysler. And that it is the one that uses a set of long rod to push the balancer off. The ones that is just 3 jaws and had a threaded rod and cap on it.. just seems to mess up the crank end and threads, I don't recommend just using these normal 3 jaw puller.
I know that Snap-On #YA6490 is the correct puller, I use it and it works great. And that there are a few tools on the market to hold the balancer in place while removing or installing the crank bolt (summit racing #SME-906008 is one). Many manufactors market simular tool, I highly recommend looking into these.
