abunda_amazon_reviews I used this set to drive one bearing race, a literally destroyed both the handle and the and cup. Then again, both the handle and the cup are aluminum and both race and the hammer are hardened steel. I really can't see how this can work when it is all aluminum. Perhaps for small races like trailer bearings or small cars, but then why have cups for large bearings like 1-ton trucks? As for installing seals, a piece of 2"x4" works just as well as these. Maybe I was expecting too much, but for my applications this set was useless.;;Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2018;;2.0 out of 5 stars;;Destroyed the handle and the cup on the first use.;;D. Orders;;;One of the discs I received with the kit was machined improperly. I bought the kit to facilitate installing new front axle bearings in my Toyota pickup. The two sizes I needed were the 1.965" and the 2.555" discs. I tested the fit by matching up the discs to the bearing races, but the 2.555" disc bottomed out on the side of the race instead of fitting flush against the face/rim. The 1.965" disc fit perfectly. I emailed OTC/Bosch Tech support and they responded quickly (kudos to OTC for that), but their response was basically that the discs are what they are and not meant to be a custom fit for any particular application. Tech support further told me that I could have the disc machined at my expense to fit my particular application or use the next size down (probably would have worked, but less contact surface is not ideal). Now I get that the discs aren't supposed to be customized to an application, but I did expect them to be more of a universal fit for something as common as a Toyota pickup. I took a chance and ordered a similar standalone 2.555' disk from Lisle Corp (# 12650) to see if my suspicions were right about the machining and the Lisle disc fit the race perfectly. I own other OTC products and they are typically outstanding, but this one is going back. I'm sure I just got unlikely with OTC's quality control, but it would have been nice for OTC to send me a replacement disc instead of forcing me to go to a competitor.

I use them a lot, and they last longer than most other brands, and because they are aluminum, they don't dammage the bearings, races, and seals. If you buy this set you won't be dissapointed! My first set OTC lasted over 2 years with daily use. I bought it from the tool truck so I paid twice as much. Amazon is the way to go for sure! Hope this helps.;;Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2013;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Anouther great OTC product!;;Derek;;;This is a very nice set - I used it the same day it came in to install a set of seals on my '66 Ford F100's rear axles. Unfortunately it was delivered missing the largest driver and I had to call OTC to have a new one shipped out. OTC answered quickly, the support desk person I spoke with was helpful and there is a replacement part on its way out. If it had been a complete set I would have given 5 stars..If their support staff wasn't as competent and helpful I would have given 1 star :);;Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2015;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;This is a very nice set - I used it the same day it ...;;Chris Rogers;;;Really nice seal/bearing driver kit. Used it this weekend to replace the seals and bearing races on my Polaris ATV. I would give it 5/5 but I just worry about the longevity of the shaft for the driver. It is a little dented after some hammering. For my home use I don't think it will ever break but if its something you use every day it might be a concern in the long term. Otherwise, its very nice, well made and comes in a good case. For the average user it will probably last a lifetime.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2015;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Perfect for working on my ATV;;YJGUY;;;I've used this primarily for driving seals. Hadn't had any issues with damaging seals and the variety of sizes makes this kit pretty versatile.

Disc's are made of a soft aluminum and only one disc was a bit too large for my inner race but because the disc is softer than the race there was no damage. Saved me time, worth it.;;Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2014;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Seal driving with ease.;;Todd
