  • 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.

  • Worked Well.
This surprised me on how well it worked for me. I'm not saying it just pressed the ball joint from the spindle, but it applied a lot of pressure and one whack to the spindle with a hammer, and it came apart.

  • Grimy and damaged upon opening
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
