Powerful!
Fabulous quality! Heavy body, strong screw. It has two opening-size positions, extending its range. I had a tough, stubborn ball joint, to which I had to apply considerable force. The tool handled it perfectly. Very pleased.

Works well . Great save on maintenance costs
This is a great tour. It’s very basic. It’s very simple. I have now used it twice. Both on different Porsches one was a 987 Baxter and the other was a 996C2. Be sure to line everything up be sure that it is securely in place protect yourself I actually drape a towel over the ball joint as I actually screw to remove there’s a whole lot of popping going on and things can fly. ... show more

Excellent tool, and tough, too
I got this tool in advance of doing a front end repair on one of my cars. Finally, when I went to use it, the first side came apart using this tool with almost no effort. Then came the other side. I wound the jacking screw in until it was tight, then proceeded to add about another quarter turn, followed by another quarter turn. No joy. I then gave it one more go of doing the same and now it was really tight. I grabbed a hammer to give the steering knuckle a whack but right before I did that, the two pieces came apart sounding like a shot had been fired. I always leave the ball joint nut on for safety so there were no issues. The tool did great. I don't know how I could have gotten those two pieces separated without it. ... show more

Good quality joint separator
Good quality ball joint separator. I used it to separate a tie rod end on my Honda Pilot. It worked fine and did no damage to the tie rod end. It has two adjustment pivots, accommodating a wide range of different height joints. It does not fit wide joints, like the 32mm ball joint on the Pilot. I didn’t give it 4 stars due to not having a retaining chain for when the joint separates. The tool will go flying when the joint separates. Not a big deal if you’re ready for it, but I’m not sure how many people can tell when it’s ready to pop. ... show more

Works good, worth the money if you are having trouble getting ball joints out.
Works good, easy to use and withstands high strength impact guns and hammering. Works every time.

I opened the box to find a grimy used tool with stripped threads and a bolt head that was worn. Whoever used this tool before I received it definitely damaged it to the point of irreparability. I'm not sure whether this was accidentally shipped. In any case it was a shock, especially because my hands got grimed up from picking it out of the box. ... show more
