Description

Always looking to provide more professional options in undercar and ball-joint tool categories, Astro Tools introduces the 78197 Goliath Ball Joint Service Tool and Master Adapter Set, our most comprehensive and capable ball-joint service set ever. The all new Goliath C-frame press included in the 78197 set continues the success of our 78100 Goliath XL press with some added benefits. The new Goliath design features 2X the available working throat space when using most adapters compared to our standard press, and 25% deeper arms than any press including the Goliath XL. This means you can more freely position large adapters or stack multiple inline AND enjoy a longer arm length positioning the press away from interferences working on larger applications including 3-1/2 & 4-1/2 ton trucks. In order to achieve both of these changes that result in a great increase in leverage working against the tool, Astro has implemented our beefiest c-frame design yet while utilizing our in-house trusted forged steel alloy that has made our ball-joint presses professional grade. Designed for work on 2WD & 4WD Domestic, Import & Euro vehicles through the 2020’s the included manual provide information for over 1,100 applications. Along with the C-frame press, all adapters in set are100% forged and the large ball-bearing forcing screw is class 12.9 heat treated for max durability.

  • Great purchase!
Never again will I have to borrow that broken piece of crap from the parts store! This thing is heavy duty and made the job so much easier.

  • Good press
I purchased this to replace the HF press that lost the shape of a C. This one seems pretty stout. The cups are good quality.

  • Great product, excellent value
Crazy strong. I bought several other tools I was so impressed with this set. I used it on the front ball joints for a 2001 Ford Excursion 4x4 diesel, same as F250, Dana 50 for same year, and they pushed right out. It's was like magic!

  • Great Press Setup
I have a number of other Astro Pneumatic Tools which are good quality, so I went with this press set. I used it to press out the ball-joints on my Superduty Diesel 4wd, which it accomplished without even flinching, in fact, I think C-Press yawned afterwards. The C-press is extremely stout. The large blow molded suitcase (..yes, suitcase) the kit comes in, has an assortment of cups and adapters to tackle a good variety of tasks on multiple brands of vehicles.. I purchased it for my home shop, which is kinda overkill, but, if you prefer “More-Power” style, then get this Goliath Press Set, you wont be disappointed. ... show more

  • Impressive, totally worth the money!
This tool is very strong. I've used the powerbuilt model a few times and this one is superior to that. I've only used it on one ball joint so far but it pressed it out with ease using only a ratchet, and this was on a vehicle in NY state with 130k miles, original ball joint, which I expected to put up a fight.. ... show more

  • Durable
Much better than the cheap kits sold. Definitely not everything needed for every vehicle but a little creativity goes a long way.
