If your terminals are that corroded that you need a special tool to remove them, the actual problem is the owner’s lack of performing preventative and regular maintenance.
Hey, no offense meant at all, as I’ve been made fun of for carrying too much stuff, but if your in-car toolkit includes a battery terminal puller, that must be one helluva tool box!
One of those things, Joe. When you need it, nothing else will do. The only reason I still don’t carry one is because I drive GM. A 1/4 inch drive ratchet with a 5/16 socket takes care of the side terminal fasteners.
I have one of these gathering dust in a drawer. Haven’t used it since the advent of the screw-in post and a liberal coating of battery terminal goo every year as part of a yearly maintenance schedule.
