Old ball joint tool had mangled indents so I found this replacement that I weighs 2 lbs. Interior is cut about 3/4" deep. This thing is going to put a lot of torque on those nuts. Half price of most of the sellers.

Cheaper than that tool and 10x better quality. One of those tools you show off to people because it’s so nicely made. |

Jim actually send you the parts for inspection before asking for payment. I just send him the money up front now because I already know his parts and tools are superior to anything out there. He’s well known on early911sreg for all the cool stuff he makes.

It was an easy transaction and the tool works great. |
