Review on 🔧 Lisle 18980 Pneumatic U-Joint Driver Tool by Carlos Alston

I was skeptical at first, no real usage videos related to the site and mixed reviews here. Let me get this straight, this ABSOLUTELY WORKS. 12 year old universal joints tossed out in a rusty driveshaft with little or no problem. The trick is to hold the opposing trunnion in a sturdy fixture like a vise, apply some penetrating lubricant and work with a QUALITY air hammer. Your $20 port freight won't help. I use a long barrel from Matco and it works great. To be honest the hardest part of the job was getting the retaining clips out and unfortunately some of them broke and required a special method to remove them. Anyway, I've always hated collaborative work because I've used a combination of a vise, ball joint press, or hammer bits in my air hammer and I've had mixed results with one method or the other, and in fact I've had a few plugs. explode and send a splinter into my hand. Definitely recommend this to anyone who replaces joints on a regular basis, not only to speed up the process but also to make removal much safer.
