Review on OTC 7080 Joint Spanner Wrench by Kevin Taharka

Revainrating 4 out of 5

You need it to work properly, room for improvement

Basically does what it's supposed to do, with a few caveats: The tool fits the stock adjustment sleeve (in the '85 K5 Blazer, military model, aka M1009 known), but the teeth aren't the right size for the adjustment sleeve that came with my new upper ball joint (Moog I think?). I could have tried modifying this tool to fit, but instead I simply reused the original washer. Use a torque wrench or even a regular socket wrench. However, the top is only flat, so you'll need to use a wrench to flip this thing over. an outlet that you only use once, maybe twice.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
