This Goliath press is the beast to make your gear head buddy's jealous. I'm replacing ball joints on my 2001 ram 1500 4x4 with dana 44. This press was exactly what was needed to complement the astro master set I purchased at the same time. The master set alone was excellent, but the throat of the standard press runs on the short side when dealing with any larger style joints or general pressing. The Goliath is a great addition to get that extra push you need with a little extra space to work with adapters. It's not intended, but I did run a mid air gun with this press, And breaker bar to finish things off Please make sure to grease or anti-seze the screw assembly before operating. Would buy again.. but the quality is so excellent, it's a lifetime tool for the average home style shop repairs. *The one picture is the Goliath next to the standard Astro press to tell size comparison

I rate this c-clamp a 4 out of 5 for functionality, fit, and easy of use. The finish quality on this tool is the absolute worse I’ve had on any tool like this and well under my threshold of acceptability. To fix that and get a 5 stars out of 5 the manufacturer should really use a better paint process and thicker paint that won’t simply fall apart after 1 use. With that said you’ll pry this from the Davidnators cold 🥶 dead💀 hands. Want to know more read on… I’ve used Mac, along with rental tools from part stores and even have a nice ball joints set I got from Amazon but they all come with the smaller C-clamp… enter the Goliath XL Ug Ug Ug… this bad boy is heavy…. Just be sure not to drop it on your toe. The sheer weight of the c-clamp is crazy but thats what you need to remove some of the hardest most stubborn ball joints. With that said the functionality is extended by providing a bigger opening and a bigger bolt… because in this case size does matter. It made removing and putting on the ball joints much easier than using the normal c-clamp. Even if you plan on renting a kit you may be better off getting this clamp because of how much easier your life will be depending on the job. In my case I was removing the ball joints from a 2016 LTZ Chevy Suburban 1500… with 170,000 miles on it. The only issue I have with this clamp is not with the durability of the metal or structure itself but the lack of durability of the paint on the product. The painted finish just simply seemed to flake off in one simple use making it the worse finish I’ve experienced on any tool I’ve purchased so far. Really for something named the Goliath XL I expected a much better finish than for the paint simply to fall off in one use. But maybe that’s why they took the name Goliath because Goliath died after being struck one time much like the paint chipped after one use. With that said the tip is to use grease on any type of press like the Goliath XL screw because the extra lube helps to make it move easier when you are pressing ball joints in and out. It also helps to extend the life of the screw so it doesn’t mess up the threads on those harder jobs!

An XL ball joint press is necessary for replacing the ball joints and U joints on an F250. This tool combined with an impact wrench made removing and installing the ball joints on my rusty F250 the only part of the job that went the way it was supposed to. It also has the length to work on axle U joints which saved me lots of hammering. I rented an OEM tools ball joint press and adapter kit from autozone and they worked great with this tool. I appreciated that this came with both a long and short screw which gave me added versatility. The tool is extremely heavy and did not take any damage using it with an impact wrench. I also used it as a brace for some other stuff due to its weight and it's held up fine. It is an extremely substantial tool. My only complaint is that you get the tool, and nothing else, while every normal size ball joint press comes with some basic adapters. The other annoying part is that master ball joint adapter sets don't include the two basic flat plates, so you either have to buy or rent a regular ball joint press kit in addition to buying this XL kit. I would love it if you could buy the XL press as a basic kit rather than only being able to buy the press as an add on tool.

This ball joint press is much bigger than the ones that come in the kits. It’s much larger in all dimensions and has worked great.

Needed a larger ball joint press for a few vehicles that the standard size just wasn't cutting. This thing is just as hefty as my older smaller units and then some. It's made of metal, and you use it for ball joints, u joints, pinching fingers, and anything else you need to exert a few tons of pressure on, that you can fit into your shop press to do the job. Yes it will probably damage the shipping box and hurt the driver carrying it to you since it weighs so much, but it's a heavy duty tool, you know that. Yes Snap on, Mac, and others make great tools, but I'm not in that range yet, so this does the job at a much more attractive price. I have not needed customer service so can't comment on that, but would not hesitate to buy this brand, from this seller again.

Worked awesome for ball joints, though it's weight makes placing a ball joint kit in place challenging. Definitely get a second set of hands if you're in awkward spot, and maybe buy a good bench vise that'll hold both your part and this clamp

Thing is heavy as f*** but well worth the added weight. I’ve bent a few ball joint presses that were probably just cheap and poorly manufactured. This big boy does not disappoint

The c-frame included with most service kits is too small for 4x4 work and requires extra finagling to try to get it to work. In some cases as with Ford super duty track bar ball joints the smaller default-sized c-frame was a nightmare to use and I damaged a ball joint while installing it because the hex-flats were interacting with the frame of the vehicle causing it to press at a slight angle. This one has the length to use the adapters in a more convenient orientation to wrench from the bottom so that the truck frame stays out of the way and the tool presses the joint straight in, effortlessly.
