Works well in ball joint and tie rod tools

Nice set if you use the right adapter for your application. I chose what I thought was the right adapter, but it's not. The adapter is bell-shaped. The connection was loosened well, but if made a little stronger it wouldn't have bent.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Disappears

Amazing tool and equipment set

Absolutely amazing set. You can't get a kit with so many parts that is so well made at this price. OTC is a name known for its high quality. I am a Ford diesel mechanic, our Ford special tools are often made by OTC. This kit is great to have on hand. Works very well for ball joints and U-joints.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Functionality

I love my over-the-counter tools at Tools & Equipment

I love tools that are made in the USA. OTC products are heavy and you get what you pay for. I bought a kit to restore the front of my Ford Excursion and later my Chevrolet Silverado. Facilitates working with cardan joints and ball joints. It might be a bit pricey for homemade, but it's worth it.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Reliability

A very well made instrument. Easy to use.

I've long argued between this and the larger, much more expensive option. This covers a lot of what's coming in the shop, and for 99.9% of the other ball joints that come in, you can get them to work. The quality seems to be on par. As with any tool, it is important to use the correct tool for proper tool operation and maintenance.

Pros
  • Certified GOLS
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

BAD TO THE BONE Ball Joint Press.

I checked them 2 days before ordering. I've never seen better press (ever). That's all you'll ever need. Similar to those we used on army tanks. I just can't say enough good things about this toolbox. Read all the reviews like me and you will see what I mean. Save yourself the hassle, just grab the best and you're done.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • I will add later

Won't hold - ball joint and tie rod tools

I bought this set as it should be good quality but a lot cheaper than buying snaps. One of the parts was bent when first used. I have contacted GeraldBosch Automotive Service Solutions LLCOTC TECHNICAL SUPPORT. I was told I would need to send the part in so they could check if they were honoring the warranty. As a mechanic, you don't have time to wait for so many fluctuations. They were also very rude. In this case, spending more money would be better than going to the trouble and being left…

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Quick guide

Great kit that can use more than just ball joints

I was looking for a quality C clamp for a range of bushing installation jobs and was delighted with the choice of cups and receivers that came with this kit it attractive. The C-clamp is of good quality, the threaded parts fit together well and the clamp does not bend despite hard work. job done. There are other parts that can be purchased separately to add to the set if required. The case is larger than shown in the photos, holds everything and is durable. Overall, I really like the set and…
