Title: Safety First
Product review: Low price, nice case, However; This ball joint remover will absolutely not remove the lower ball joints from my 1998 Lincoln MkVIII. In fact, because of the taper on the end that goes on the loosened nut, further complicated by the fact that it is not possible to insert the tool far enough to bypass the taper (at least on this vehicle), while under considerable pressure the tool shot across my garage with enough force to damage anything or anyone in its way. The instruction picture shows the tool being used with the open end of a combination wrench...Good plan because if I had hold of it with the boxed end or a socket I am certain I would be at the doctors right now. It's a shame, I restore cars and I sure could use a tool for this job but fellas, this ain't it. It's got to go back home. It likely works for little cars with lots of room and loose fitting ball joints but...safety first.
