Review on 🔧 Lisle 18530 Ball Joint Separator Tool by Hector Liamsi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very difficult! for shocks, struts and suspension

I bought this to disconnect the Pittman arm and intermediate arm from the center link on my Hummer H2. I have previously tried a ball joint cutter from Harbor Freight Tools. Unfortunately the Harbor Freight cage was not hardened so I wasted several hours due to the forks coming apart and the ball joints cutting into the forks. Then I bought this Lisle instrument. I was able to remove these ball joints with just 4 hammer blows! The forks on this separator are so solid they haven't even been scratched. This showed that quality Lisle tools ultimately save me money by saving me the trouble of redoing work.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Appearance
