In terms of using a TA tool for a crank that requires a stronglight puller, this thread from Sheldon Brown is useful. I know I used the TA tool for a stronglight crank before I broke down and purchased the stronglight tool.

"To service a T.A. crankset, you need a T.A. puller. For Stronglight, you should really use a Stronglight puller, but the T.A. is usable with care (although it fits a bit more loosely than it should. If the crank starts to get hard to pull off, quit before you strip the threads). "
