This was just the tool I needed to do the job and the next day air shipping got it to me before the weekend so I could get it done. The price of the tool and the parts was cheaper than if I would have taken it to the dealer to have done. So I got a new tool in my tool box plus the satisfaction of doing it myself and it was alot cheaper.

Why buy an expensive product made by other expensive name brand. They use the same steel and paint on their tools. This is the case I'm talking about. This set is an excellent product that helped me with the removal of some rusty old ball joints at my Mercedes W201. Have fun doing it too with this great tool.

I used this to replace what I believed to be the original ball joints on a 77 Dodge W200 with a Dana 44. It made the job relatively easy. I don't anticipate using this tool very often but I think it would hold up pretty well under regular use. I am not sure what other vehicles can be done with this kit but I think Astro sells adapter kits for other vehicles. If the bulk of your work is ball joints on many different models of cars, perhaps you should consider the $600 Snap-on tool (which appears to be more versatile and durable). But if you do ball joints infrequently, this kit is a good bang for the buck.

Used this tool on a very stubborn front axle U-joint. The tool performed very well and made what would have been a very time and labor intensive job into just a mild annoyance. I highly recommend this tool.

The Astro 7865 Ball Joint Press works great. I used it to remove the ball joints in a 32 year-old Jeep axle and it pressed them out perfectly. It made what would have been a difficult job, very easy. Highly recommended.

Before purchasing this item, I assisted my brother-in-law with replacing one of the lower ball joints on his truck. We "rented" a similar tool set from a local auto parts chain that had been misused several times. This made our task even that much more difficult. So when it came time to replace both ball joints on one side of my truck, I made the wise choice of purchasing this item. It held up well to the stress of pressing out the old ball joints and cut down on the install time compared to the previous. A nice addition to my tool arsenal also.

THIS PRODUCT IS REALLY EASY TO USE. ONCE FIGURED OUT THE SETUP YOU NEED, IT'S REALLY EASY TO USE THIS.

I purchased this product because it said it included the 4wd adapters. It does not have the correct adapters to fit the Dana 30 used in both my Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. So now I have a worthless product that I will either store forever, or donate to Goodwill.
