Review on 🔧 Gray OTC 7249 Ball Joint, U-Joint, and Brake Anchor Pin Service Kit with Storage Case - Improved SEO by Steve Cooper

I've done some front work with this now. Everything from 1 ton Ford jerrycans to 4x4 and 2WD expedition trucks. This tool is powerful! The 1 ton van is a 1994 uhaul box truck with over 200,000 miles and the parts were really rusty. This tool took everything apart. I also purchased a main adapter kit from HarborFreight Tools that works great with this tool. I actually use HarborFreight's pin adapter in the OTC clamp because I think the flat end adapter works better than the pointed one. Don't lose the ball! Just take it out and put it in the box for later. This tool is also suitable for brakes and universal joints as well as for pressing out wishbone bushes. This is one of the best additions to my toolbox. I did a lot of searching for the right clamp and didn't want a cheap aluminum clamp. It's American forged steel and is a great heavy tool that you don't have to worry about breaking. I always get nervous when I see bad reviews about a tool and I don't mind spending good money to get a tool if it was really worth it. After buying thousands of dollars worth of stuff, I found that many of the bad reviews were written by people who don't really know how to use the tool properly, or expect the tool to be indestructible. I'm 50 years old and I've been working with cars, trucks, planes and motorcycles, boats, construction machinery, etc. since I was 13. All tools can break. I have Snap On, Matco, Proto, Cornwall, Craftsman and a number of other brands. Some of them are cheap, like HarbourFreight, because it doesn't matter to use them. Other things like this clip should be the best and that's what I have, the best. I have no complaints about OTC tools today and I have a lot of their stuff.
