 Ball Joint Press Oct 11, 2009
By David W. Leal
The Tool works great.
I work for a Ford Dealership and we do a lot of Ball Joints.
A few techs in the shop have the OTC Ball Joint Press and I
was always having to borrow them. I believe they paid around
150.00 plus tax for the tool, I got the same tool, brand new
in the box for half the price here on Amazon. I am very happy
with this product.
PS, OTC is the manufacturer of the Ford Rotunda Ball Joint
Press, same tool with a different box.

Exactly what's listed Sep 02, 2009

It's a ball joint press. I would hope if your looking for one you know what it does. Haha... it's work great so far. Had to put quite a bit of "beef" behind it when trying to remove one of the old Ball Joints on my Dana 44 knuckle and it held up just fine.

critical tool for the job Aug 06, 2010
By Chris Katayanagi
I can't believe I thought I could have replaced my ball joints with a 4 inch c-clamp instead of this set! My plan was to buy this and maybe return it if I didn't need it or sell it when I was done. It was easy to use and worked well. The whole time I was using it I was saying to myself, "I sure am glad I bought this thing". I can't wait for my ball joints to wear out again so I can use the tool again--ok, not really, but it was a joy to use. This is one of those tools that do a specific task perfectly and more-importantly for the male of the species...intuitively without any need to read a manual.
I didn't try and use it on the vehicle, which, given the weight of the tool would have been much more difficult I think. Of course, I was going to try and use a c-clamp so maybe my predictions and estimations should be questioned. I actually didn't see obvious markings as to the tool's origin--maybe I'm blind? I'm hoping it was made in the USA. It is disturbing that nothing is manufactured in this country anymore. I know we want everything cheap, but we're going to pay for our inability to manufacture anything eventually. I'm hardly a nationalist, but we need to buy american when possible, so hopefully I did. sermon is over...
If you're replacing your own ball joints (and love to buy tools instead of borrowing or renting) this tool is indispensable. I saw some reviews complaining of slow shipping. I got this delivered in 4 days with free super saver shipping.

Tool and Amazon review Jul 01, 2009
By Matthew Kelly
"ase master tech"
This product is great for removal and installation of certain ball joints and u-joints. Adaptors can be purchased separately or you can use bearing races, sockets, etc. to use as adaptors. Be sure to keep tool well oiled for longer service life. Price was excellent and shipping is fast.

Ball Joint press Jul 09, 2009
By Scott A. Erdman
I was very happy with this tool.
It worked better than expected.
I was surprised the box came from China since it was
Owatana Tool Company.
Is nothing made in the country anymore.
