What's your time worth? It's $.56/mile to drive there and back. Anyway ...this tool is basically essential to doing suspension work. I've saved a couple grand replacing these parts on my own. ...

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.

It's been this price for at least three weeks. It's smooth. Between this and HF get the cheaper one. They do the same thing.

Any good mechanic knows hit the knuckle with a hammer near the joint and it'll break loose.

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.

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.

You have to go to the store to buy parts anyway Also, as previously mentioned, most of the time all it takes is a few smacks with a hammer and it'll come out on it's own.
