One of the most dangerous tools to use… the ball joint pops loose and the tool goes flying…. I’ve learned to keep hands and face away from it when turning screw. There should be a warning label on the box
@@toolsforwork the same point of view were in my comment...I already written ,in a previous comment,I'm engineer in mechanics with 30+ practical experince and,among others I designed tools and devices. When I see I need a special tool or device I buld myself..😇😇😇
If you're servicing a wheel bearing and your ball joints are still good, you want to use a hex nut or something to keep the threads from getting damaged with that tool. Use a new castle nut as well, most castle nuts are soft. Protected threads and new castle nuts reduces the chance of dealing with a spinning ball joint.
@@toolsforwork Not about fragility, it's about the headache of spinning ball joint pins then having to use C-clamps, or S hooks and a pry bar, or some other method to keep the ball joint pin from spinning.
No need to be concerned about the threads when removing bad ball joints. The bad ball joints aren't going to be reused .The new ball joints will have new threads .
@@toolsforwork ball joint remover looks like a big C clamp and you have to press it out of the knuckle... although i definitely need this tie rod remover because i hate using pickle forks.
I would not recommend that tool to anyone who has a rusted corroded ball joint that won’t come out. I’d rather use a ball joint press tool or the pickle fork or the claw to get it out. Those tools get damaged easily and pop out dangerously

Safety comes first
Not at all only reason this happens is because there is no castle nut
I always use ear plugs and some old t-shirt wrapped around this device
I'm so glad mine broke while doing this.
I'm glad to see a mechanic use this device....=> Most of all use a sledgehammer to separate the ball joint from the arm.
Hammer is not as convenient as this one

Why not a combo of both this and a tap with a hammer
Thats not a ball joint thats a tie rod end
OK
This is a tie rod end.... not a ball joint...
OK

Not so fragile.

Also keeps the parts from violently expoloading and possibly hitting you in the mooch.

a tie rod is basically a ball joint
Ok so what is inside a tie rod?

Really?
Big hammer works better
OK
Not when froze on
Deer hooves always works for me
OK
Tie rod not ball joint😡
OK
@@toolsforwork ok? 😂
What's the glorious song?!
BGM?
@@toolsforwork Yeah.
Y para Ensamblarlo con la misma Erramienta hola
