Review on πŸ’ͺ Ultimate Powerhouse: Astro Pneumatic Tool 78100 Goliath Ball Joint XL C-Frame Press by Brad Knierim

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Parts arrived together, rusted

Haven't had a chance to use the press yet and will update review when I do. Cavity. Apparently they didn't put any lubricant or rust preventative on these parts when assembling them, and they completely rusted together during shipping from China. It was so bad I had to put a jackbolt in a vise and use channel locks to twist the connector back and forth enough to allow the rust to work loose to get it out. It was so hard that the o-ring on the outlet broke so it had to be replaced. The ball bearing had to be scraped, soaked and much repeated work to loosen in order for it to be removed. I ended up sanding all the parts to remove rust. That and a bit of lubrication, now everything moves freely as it should. Unfortunately, the parts are now quite badly corroded. Be sure to inspect everything when you receive it.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
