OMG, I can't believe I have been beating on the fork so hard on my ball joints and this is available in it's place

I really like this one! I have the OTC which is good but this one has more attachments and doesn’t damage the boot!! Thx for the review! I am getting one!!

Yup, a little expensive, but worth. Top notch product.

I have one similar. I forget who makes it. But it’s a great tool for those stubborn balljoint and tie rod ends.

Nice tool to prevent damage to suspension components to get other repairs accomplished without worrying about additional unnecessary costs associated with the task. I would buy one, but I don't get gravy jobs as much anymore to justify buying one...lol! I wish I would have had one of these about 7 years ago!

Bought one after this video and I’ve had it for several years now. Worth every penny sometimes the hammer just doesn’t work and you need that added pressure to the ball joint. They are now double the price of when I got mine but still recommend it

Nice little tool that was too easy. Thanks again for the advice

BMW special tool been using forever. It is a great tool.

Great video thanks brother. Great tool to have. Better than the old way of doing it for sure. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

Great info Mike. Been looking to get a new remover since mine broke so be ordering one soon

Nice review Mike, looks like a pretty neat tool. Suspension parts sure come apart easy in Atlanta 😂

I think we have 4 of those in various sizes in our shop. Ours have a spring to keep tension so dont have to hold as much and a tether to wrap the control arm so you dont have to catch it on the stiff ones when they pop

Great tool great video thanks for the Demonstration

Hey Mike, would you do a video about your take on vehicle "flushes." Aftermarket cleaners/conditioners. I would like to hear your opinion on them. Engine, trans, brake, power steering, and coolant.

GREAT lookin tool - great video!!!!!

Great video!

Great video need more tool reviews!

Commenting on the video for the algorithm

I appreciate your videos and knowledge. I've learned a lot about a lot. Do you think this tool would work well for the side by side and ATV community??

You said Tie Rod, but then you wrote it was for Ball joints, then you used it on a Tie Rod ??? It worked ...

I noticed o kept saying tie rod in the video, it is listed for ball joints, but works with tie rod ends as well

Nice tool !!

I have it. The bomb. I use it for 2013-2017 Accord 2015-2020 TLX front lower ball joints

Nice tool, but it’s basically the same as most of the parts In the otc front in service set I have. Really great kit!

Looks cumbersome but a good tool thanks for the video FRM.

How do you purchase from them I've checked the website but I don't see where to purchase

Nice! Tool

Do you not do any work videos?

How much is this tool? Went on your amazon link and the link for the tool manufacturer and did not see a price. Really interested cause it seems like this tool has a really high roi.

Will it work on lower ball joints that are pressed in or replace the old tried and true otc c frame to a degree

It will separate a ball joint from a spindle, but will not press out a ball joint

sorry the country of origin on the box or tool

I've been using the harbor freight version for years. Usually only comes out when I'm trying to save the boot and it didn't pop apart with the usual prybar and hammer on the knuckle method. Or when something is REALLY stuck, a combination of pressure with that and SOME sort of hammering will do the trick. The downside is, when you REALLY need that tool to fit, it ain't big enough. I still don't understand why people continue to tell me it doesn't work... maybe they don't realize you're supposed to use it with a hammer, not strip out the forcing screw? But yeah, this might be a nice supplement to the 1" and 1 1/4" .498" pickle forks I have in the mail 😎. And of course, my SIM TOOLS LCAT6803. Would love to see this tool used on something larger to see how it fits/does, if you happen to have the chance. Of course that would fall right out while filming, must've been a million years to the day since the last time you had that happen? 🤣 I like when you've really got them cranked on and they pop themselves and everyone in the shop looks at you like you just had a negligent discharge, haha. Thanks for sharing!

You can take a grinder to widen the forks on the harbor freight. Still strong enough for my fleet of isuzu NPR's

@@flatratemaster If You Type it in on Amazon it only pops up a 36mm fork For it. If You Google Mueller-Kueps 609-033 The amazon page will come up. Sometimes i don't get the Internet

We just used a big pry bar and beat the shit out of it to get those off @ the dealership Trust me being aluminum doesn’t make a difference you ain’t going to damage Plus we mess up the boot that’s more stuff to up sell and get an alignment out of it hell ya!!... buddy Also harbor freight has the same tool for $20

Love your videos, but I’m kind of confused on this one. You say tie rod and the writing on the screen says you mean ball joints. But then you Demonstrate it being used on an outer tiered end ?

101numlock can be used on either tie rod ends or ball joints. Separates joints from spindles without damaging boots.

Big hammer works best
