I’ve rented that tool from autozone. It works well. I don’t remove ball joints often so there was no need for me to buy it.

At this price, it may be worth it to save yourself two trips to borrow one.

Not necessarily true. Mine was rusted/stuck and no matter how hard or how many times I hit it with a mini sledge, it just didn't break free.

This is what I use on my cars...highly recommend. I tried the HF and while it worked, I would recommend the GW instead.

Nope. There are many reasons you may have to remove a tie-rod end without having to replace it with a new one.

Is this any better than the ones you can buy from Harbor Freight? Design wise it doesn't look any better. Maybe stronger material?

Not sure how you used it but I used one of these for my 98 Civic on the lower ball joint and it worked easily. I personally think the U fork that you hit on the end with a hammer works far better.

Not true. Honda’s are notorious for needing this style for ball joint separation. A pickle fork can damage the boot among other issues. Their ball joints are super tight.

For has potential to damage boot, because you push into the joint. Not that forks are bad, but you need to be more careful.

Absolutely. I can't recall a time where i would need a tool like this. If it won't come out after knocking the knuckle you're probably looking at a bad joint anyway and will need to replace it.

I don’t think autopart stores rent this style. They have more of a universal fork type separator. I found it’s easier to use this type than having to keep banging my hammer at the fork.
