Soft Metal - Shop Tools

So when I opened the box I thought it was a good design with bearings and all, everything should work smoothly. That was until I tried taking it apart after use. It didn't loosen, I thought I was going insane, but no matter how hard I turned it, it didn't loosen, I think what happened was that the threads on the main screw were supposed to be too soft and ended up with the tightened nuts. I managed to loosen it just enough to slip a hacksaw between the cup and the press and cut through the bolt. It was very frustrating and now if I want to use it again I'll have to go and buy a plain nut and bolt. If I had to recompress the steering shaft cups I would just go to Lowes and buy some large washers, a long stud and some nuts, it would be cheaper and probably wouldn't bind. I would not recommend this for the above reasons.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Nothing
