Purchased this press to remove the Universal Joints on my 1996 XJ Cherokee. WAY WAY easier than banging on things with the BFH and sockets, plus it's a whole lot easier on the ears! I removed the ancient, rusty caps from my yolk-ears with ease! Be sure to lube the threads before use, and tap the yolk-ears to release tension as you crank. This will be part of my trail kit which never leaves the Jeep from now on! I especially like the fact that you can buy this press without all the ball joint adapters I would never use, but will work with the 4x4/Jeep adapters (sold separately) if I ever decide to try my ball joints! Comes with a sticker on it that says assembled in USA from foreign parts or something confusing like that. Seems pretty solid so far, but I've only ever had to use a 1/2 drive ratchet so who knows if it would hold up to a breaker bar? For U-joints, it definitely makes me very happy!

Awesome product. I needed it then next day, and sure enough, it arrived in the mail right on time and saved my ass from a lot of extra work. I didn't use it for its intended purpose, either, but it worked perfectly.
