Review on πŸ’ͺ Versatile OTC 4559 Pickle Fork Set - Manual and Pneumatic Options for Effective Usage by Jerry Estrada

Revainrating 5 out of 5

and it wasn't that bad. I have already released the upper ball joint.

EXCELLENT! I would give 10 stars if I could. I just used this to split joints on my 2000 F350 4x4. It's currently 18 degrees on my street where the truck is parked. The cucumber fork I had was too narrow to fit the lower ball joints so I ordered this set as it had a 1 1/8" fork. My dad got me his jackhammer (1970's) but it was cold enough that i didnt want to pull the supercharger.i managed to rip the front end to this point a few weeks ago when the weather was much warmer.a hand crank to pull the drivers side off and that wasn't a big deal , I had already loosened the top ball joint with another fork and was able to use this fork to loosen the bottom ball joint in minutes.3# I had no luck on the passenger side.The same 1 1/8" fork loosened the top ball joint in seconds but I couldn't move the bottom one. I hit it until my hand felt like it was about to fall off. I even tried heating the joint with a propane torch but without much pleasure. Compressor and air knockout drugged and knobs changed. In less than a minute the lower part was free and I removed the hinge. It was wonderful!

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
