This device protects stubborn ball joints. I had a ball joint stuck in my 2011 E70 support arm (lower tension arm). The nipple stuck in the sleeve, but strong, the sleeve with the ball joint in the lever burst (hey, at least out). It's much stronger and more durable than a $20 port freight tool (which exploded under pressure). Worth the money if you click ball joints on the X5.
