Review on 🔧 Astro Pneumatic Tool 7865: Ball Joint Service Tool + 4WD Adapters by Nhyiraba Wilson

Before purchasing this tool I either knocked out the cross with a hammer and some sockets or abused a vise and tried to install the cardan shaft and two bushings to close the vise. This usually resulted in me dropping an outlet or sockets or hitting my finger with a hammer. The end result would be singing about the origins of whoever came up with the U-Joints. And I would also add a long string of 4 letter words and teeth saws to balance things out. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to start singing with this instrument. I clamp the driveshaft in a vise, put a ball joint press in my impact wrench and in less than 5 minutes I have the driveshaft out. I've also found that I have a lot more control when pressing on the caps. This is a well made tool and well worth the price. What would have taken a few hours now takes a few minutes. And while I still occasionally break my thumb, it's no longer installing the driveshaft.
