I bought this kit for my brother as a Christmas present, since I had several similar tools for front end work on my Hondas and F150. My brother was always borrowing these tools, so I knew he could use them and I could get my tools back!
We looked the tools over and they seemed to be of the highest quality and
my brother has verified that they work well too, since he replaced 2 tie rod ends in the week he got the gift.
The kit has 5 tools in it and this is a great bargain because it is cheaper than just 1 of the tools sold separately (if you can find them).
Also, these tools allow you to disassemble tie-rods and ball joints without damaging the rubber boots. So, get rid of that crappy pickle fork!
I highly recommend this Service kit.

Worth every penny. After some research on cost, Amazon came through in shining lights.
If you need to remove ball joints and tie rod ends, this is the tool for you.
When a hammer and punch wont do, this is it!

I bought this kit to rebuild the front end of my 1965 Mustang. It arrived quickly and was packaged well. The tools are very well made and will take a lot of torque on the screws. I feel I put them through a pretty tough workout breaking apart a 45 year old front end, and the tools took it well. If you are concerned about quality of this kit- don't be, It's real nice.

These are heavy-duty tools. The container is approximately 16+ inches by 14 inches and nicely organizes the set. They were made for heavy-duty applications and the quality is above-average. The K-D tools are made in Taiwan by the Danaher Tool Group, in case you're wondering, but good luck finding an equal tool set that's made in the USA today (sad, really). These are a far better option than a pickle fork. The tie rod puller would also do well doubling as a gear puller or possibly a bearing puller. They come with a lifetime warranty (though I have no idea where you'd go to get a replacement), but I can't imagine that you'd be able to exert enough force on these tools to make them fail. Overall, this is a great kit and a tremendous value. My only gripe is that you can't find their equivalent made in America. I'd gladly pay extra if a US-made set was available.
