Works a treat.Spot on

Excellent quality works as it should perfect for the job

It does tell you in the instructions but when using this tool it is vital to use a general purpose grease on the jack screw/forcing screw. This prevents damage.Used it to press out a knackered ball joint on a Mazda 2 (quite common for them to go on this car). The ball joint having been in situ for 11 years, it was pretty stuck in there and not really keen on coming out. I used a 1/2inch bar, 24 inch in length and had to use a fair amount of force on the bar to press the joint out. The pressure on the jack screw would have been pretty high but the tool withstood it, no problems. The joint fell out and over all the tool was easy to use.I pressed a new ball joint in and was able to use a standard length ratchet to do so.Couple of tips - I’ll say it again - grease the jack screw. Put the ball joint in the freezer for a few hours first, it will contract slightly and will go in easier. Don’t use an impact gun on the tool.

Tool was great. I like the look of the tool and the more important fact that it did withstand the forces applied to it.

Perfect tool for sure. Plenty of adapters to fit most applications.

as above. I feel conned.

I never bother to leave reviews normally but this made a nightmare of a job so easy, the instructions booklet tells you which adapters to use for each vehicle and there are so many to choose from. I was quoted £300 to replace one ball joint on my Honda CRV which to me wasn't worth doing. With this tool set and a part from GSF car parts it cost me less than £90 in total and just over 2 hours of my time.I lined up the recommended adapters gave it a bit of heat from the blowtorch and cranked it in with the impact gun, so simple.This particular model is made of decent cast metal unlike some of the cheaper Chinese versions.N.B. I did cut off the end of the original ball joint close to the rubber to make it easier to fit it in, and reduce any wiggle giving it a flatter surface to press against.

Got this to replace the ball joints on my VW Beetle, but using the clamp was a battle, had to get a press, but when i did i used this kit to remove the joints with the press.Good tool if you are using a press but not if you are looking at using the clamp.
