Ball joint press

[@shovelhead8]

Looks like a good tool. A money-maker in a flat-rate shop. Thank you for sharing this with us, Mike. Stay safe and stay warm

[@c86tail]

I have that press and would buy it again for sure. Great tool

[@krubbyscountrylife]

Been using other styles. This truck is the test Run. And so far very impressed

[@timthemechanix]

Cool, so much different then any others. I have a snap on I had a few years that good, but yours look better. What I like best about the snap on is that all the pieces lock together so that you're not doing the balancing act all the time but yours hits more angles. Probably cheap than Snap on. $600 I think was the total cost. Thanks for sharing.

That's awesome I'm about to redo the entire front end of my son's 2002 Chevy Tahoe. Thank you for sharing I will see if the Parts store has one I can rent... looks like the cats meow!

[@krubbyscountrylife]

Or harbor freight for like 100 bucks will have a kit that will work for the Chevy ok too. Upper ball joint just have to press with a little thought. I had a princess Auto one for years and basic repairs work for it.

[@Freddyflintstones]

I’ve had my Matco version for 2-3 years and it’s hands down the best

[@krubbyscountrylife]

It's pretty Sweet

[@doinsngoins]

[@doinsngoins]

[@doinsngoins]

[@krubbyscountrylife]

@@krubbyscountrylife you on instagram by any chance?

[@DON_TOOLS]

I got it from National tool warehouse which is going for $36.99 plus shipping. Other websites got it going for 200-230.

[@krubbyscountrylife]

Great deal.

@@krubbyscountrylife just uploaded a youtube short on it check it out.

[@EATSLEEPFARM]

Will this work on smaller trucks like the dodge 1500’s,f-150,s and Chevy 1500’s?Great video lolks awesome!! Thanks

[@krubbyscountrylife]

Yes. I have been using it on those models. As well.

[@krubbyscountrylife]

You do have to make sure the tool sits good and I still have to coax with a hammer here and there if it don't pop right away

[@GORT70]

The thread on those things is made from unobtanium….

[@krubbyscountrylife]

I've been watching it. Not to go to tight. It will destroy itself. So far I've done ok. Thanks for commenting

[@eliezerramosjr1017]

Sorry but the amount of load that things can take (as long as you know how to use it) is unreal but as long as you grease the threads you will be all great.

[@JohnSmith-mv6bw]

Does this work on cars or just trucks?

[@krubbyscountrylife]

I have used it on both.. but I fix more trucks... The odd time I've added spacers or bearing races to fit smaller ball joints

[@krubbyscountrylife]

I still use a hammer to get things moving or you will break something

[@MrLonewolfKaraoke]

What I just look up,this kit over a $1000

[@krubbyscountrylife]

Most shop tools are really expensive for anything you buy for commercial use

[@lukeclarke1068]

Would want to be good for the price.

[@krubbyscountrylife]

So far I like it better than the others. It is heavy that's the only downside

[@jackhammergaming3526]

Yea not for $1000 nope I'm good

[@krubbyscountrylife]

Each to their own.. home owner would not spend the cash. Flat rate shop or tech would... I used a princess Auto one for lots of stuff too.. thanks for watching and commenting

[@jackhammergaming3526]

@@krubbyscountrylife I'm a mobile mechanic I still use the c clamp style, this one looks like it does a good job and could work in tight spots. If they had a cheaper one maybe then I'd try it.

[@krubbyscountrylife]

@jackhammergaming3526 I can agree on that. This is my go to press now
