Don't own a TA puller, only a Park with a TA end, but you are correct about the Stronglight puller. The 16mm Stronglight socket fit not only the extractor bolt head, but also the 16mm crank bolts that Stronglight used. Zeus also used 16mm crank bolts, but with Campy-style 22mm extractor thread. If you think about that for a moment, you'll realize why removeing Zeus crank bolts can be such an adventure.
