Ed,
The standard cable puller in the tower biz is the Tirfer T500 series:
http://www.midwestunlimited.com/detail.lasso?cat_master=1009&cat_level=1164&product_id=11333
or http://tinyurl.com/2w3gozr
It's pricey.
A less expensive but good quality puller is made by Lug-All:
http://www.midwestunlimited.com/detail.lasso?cat_master=1009&cat_level=1164&product_id=11330
or http://tinyurl.com/373dh2d
The Lug-All should be excellent for your purpose.
