harbor freight 3-IN-1 BALL JOINT/U-JOINT/C-FRAME PRESS SERVICE KIT

i have to say that this thing is awesome. i just used it to press in my poly bushings on my boxed rear lcas. they went in so smooth and easy. this thing is way better than trying to use a bench vise to press the bushings in. it is a heavy duty quality piece to. i am surprised i didnt snap it or anything. well worth the 40 bucks.

I looked at it awhile back when doing my front suspension, but decided against rolling the dice on a tool made in China. While I wouldn't use it that often, I just don't trust tools made over there. I've been ripped off too many times.

I bought one about 3 or 4 years ago and it's been well worth the money I paid. I've used it for front control arm bushings, ball joints, and tons of u-joints. I was skeptical about the fact that it's made in China too. But when you compare the price of it to the same tool made by Snap-On, I think it's an acceptable compromise.
