Works well and easily with impact driver to remove stubborn universal joints.
Worked well with Milwaukee impact driver to remove rear driveshaft effortlessly from M1078 Stewart and Stevenson ex-military truck.Super easy to use. Fit perfectly. Pre-lubricated so screw doesn’t bind or spall.

Arrived packed well, and in good condition.
I hope to not use this tool. However, I do own a 2500 Ram with +100k on the odo. The vehicle has 10 u-joints with 40 bearings. Time will tell if this tool is worth the investment.11/6/22 It didn't take long for the first u-joint to go bad. It was one of the worst, RH front knuckle. The tool would not move the u-joint without the addition of heat. The tool did work well to center the new u-joint after clip installation. It's a good tool, but you still have to use your mechanics cap.

Maybe my first bad review
Broke on first use (second cap actually) . Junk casting. Decent design. Job was A dana 44 front axle u-joint on an 08 jeep rubicon. Not a very stuck one either. Had no problem with my old c clamp type tool.OEM Wants customer to pay shipping. Warranty card stated 1 year warranty (ive had it a couple months) while box says limited lifetime. No better than the tool worked and no better than its built i may just cut my losses. Perhaps mine was just defective but having used the tool I can't see how it could last. OEM usually makes decent stuffThis was trash. I'm just out 100 bucks

You know this thing works
Whoever invented this, I’d like to buy you a beer. Used this on my Kenworth w 46 Eaton’s. Works perfect. Total game changer.

So good, you’ll want to use it again
The media could not be loaded. I am beyond happy. I was knocking the u-joints out with the C clamp style press, using a torch and hammering away to get original u-joints out of 04 Chevy 2500. It took me near half the day for one drive shaft.With the power of this tool. It took me 10 minutes to get both u joints out of the yoke and drive shaft. I was so happy I nearly knocked over the wife rushing inside to tell her. (She doesn’t care btw) but still have to show off my victory!

Worked great even on something it was not designed for 👍
Tough tool for the price. I was impressed with how well it held up as I used it for something it was not intended for lol. As a heavy diesel mechanic I've ruined many different brands of these and I believe this one will last me awhile. I was able to put a 2.5 foot bar and socket on it and cranked down till it it held my 170 lbs of the ground while bouncing, never stretched the threads. I do use lubricant on the threads as well.Had to use it several times for this job and no issues.DO NOT USE A IMPACT GUN OF ANY KIND WITH THESE.
