I used this tool to remove and replace some stuck lower ball joints on an old Toyota pickup. The ball joints were stubborn enough that just tightening the tool to loosen them was not enough. What worked for me was using a heavy aluminum mallet to hit the control lever where the BJ sits with the tool tightened and it was enough to get those old BJs off. Without this wonderful tool I don't know how I would get them out. It is important to note that you should NOT use a percussion gun with this tool. Failure to do so may damage the instrument and void the warranty. OTC (a subsidiary of Bosch) also recommends cleaning and lubricating the threads after each use. I actually broke the jaw pivot pin at the end where the bearing stopper is. I was able to finish the job as the hinge pin was still long enough to fit through the loop. Great OTC customer service took care of me and replaced the tool for free. Overall I am very happy with the tool and OTC and will be purchasing more of their specialized tools in the future!
