  • works great but.
When trying to work on an upper wishbone balljoint on an older accord, it was frustrating that there was just a rounded smooth surfact - the thing kept slipping off, but it would have been perfect if the ends had some teeth like a vicegrips instead of just smooth like a wet butt. Relatedly, the angles are hit or miss depending on the situation it may grip or it may slip. I failed on that accord ... show more

  • Good tool. Will provide years of service if not abused.
Works and was easy to use to pop the Ball Joints loose from the Steering Knuckle. Also used it on the Tie Rod Ends. Just position the Pivot Pin for the length of the Ball Joint Stud, grease up the threads so they won't gall under load, position the tool and tighten the Jack Screw so it's quite tight and then rap the the Stearing Knuckle with a three pound Sledge/Hammer in the area where the taperered Ball Joint Stud goes through the Knuckle. Often there are raised flat spots on the Knuckle where it's most effective to Rap. Tighten the Jack Screw again and Rap the Knuckle again with some serious force. Repeat the Tightening/Raping cycle until the stud breaks loose. Each time you Tighten then Rap the Knuckle, the Stud will move ever so slightly in its bore until it pops free. Ezy-Peezy.... NOTE: Generally you cannot break the stud loose by only Tightening the Jack Screw. You have to Tighten and then Rap the Knuckle Two, Three or Four times before the BJ pops loose. If it comes apart by only tightening the Jack Screw, it's because the BJ Stud Nut was not Torqued to proper Spec by the previous Mecanick. If it doesn't pop loose after four or five Tighten/Rap cycles, it's just really tight. Repeat the Tighten/Rap cycles until the BJ separates but DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN the Jack Screw. If you try to break the stud loose by severely tightening the Jack Screw, you'll either break the Pivot Pin or severely gall the Jack Screw. If need-be, buy a Three Pound Sledge from Amazon to break the BJs free. They're not expensive. Believe me, you won't do it with a Claw or Ball-Peen Hammer. Been There, Done That. Got the Tee-Shirt.... The primary tool in this operation is the Three Pound Sledge! I kid you not...... The key is to use a lot of Sledge and a moderate amount of Jack Screw tightening. BTW: DO NOT RAP ON THE TOOL, Rap only the Knuckle. ALSO: You'll have to cut about half of the Greese Boot away with a sharp knife to mount the tool between the BJ Stud and Knuckle. There's a steel ring in the wide end of the boot. Don't bother with it, just cut the boot away below the ring. ... show more

  • Bicycle crank cotter pin remover!!!
Works great for removing cotter pins in bicycle cranks, drill a 1/4” deep hole to hold the pin in place or it will slide on you and/or bend it, that’s not good, but it’s better choice then beating the crap out of the pin and damaging the crank

  • An excellent, rock solid tool at a great price!
I highly recommend this ball joint separator! Ive been tooling on cars for 30+ years and have even broken a few of those cheapo ball joint separators that look similar but that turned out to be cast and brittle. This one is the king and heavy duty!! It feels like forged steel..You can feel it in the weight and it is rock solid. I struggled with a ball joint recently after applying many cycles of heat and an older ball joint tool. I almost gave up then bought this. It is so strong and grips so solid, I removed three ball joints within 5 minutes and without fear of slipping, etc. all of the joints winced and cried and then released with a satisfying ping! A well made tool at a great price!! Dont hesitate!! ... show more

  • Works great to remove stuck bolts
Worked well to remove a stubborn sway bar link on a Jeep TJ.

  • Works well.
I needed to modify it by dremmelling the open out more in order to fit my ball joints. But works like a charm. Very satisfying explosive pop once the tapered ends of the ball joint give way. Also used it for tie rod ends.
