Great tool.
Excellent value and highly recommended. Hydraulic makes it easy to pop most ball joints. Only downside is that the tool is bulky but it is necessary to support large ball joints.

Powerful tool that gets the job done
I needed to separate the ballpoints on a 2011 bmw 335ix. Other separators seem to have forks 22mm which cannot get into the joint. Hammering wasn’t working. This tool arrived and is made of very substantial parts. It inserts fully into the joint without impinging on the boot, covering the bolt well. Using the hydraulic screw separated the heavily salt corroded joint with relative ease. A few hammer knocks on the 2nd joint once under a bit of pressure, and a few more turns, and it popped as well.A great tool.

Great deal on a Large & Heavy-Duty ball-joint separator…
It has 3 bars with 40mm, 34mm and 30mm wide openings.It will reach up to 100mm height.UPDATE:I used the Hydraulic Ram a few times (3-4) before the seal failed. (The fluid came out and it no longer extends)Pulled out the manual screw, coated it well with Loctite 65 % Moly-Paste and I went to work.I have used it on about 20+ ball joints since then and every time it worked great.I love it enough as a working tech to have ordered another Ball Joint Separator Kit so that I can have 2 sizes set up ready to use and extra parts for backup. I love this tool even with the hydro ram failure… I probably won’t use the hydraulic ram on the new set because the manual screw works great and is way more compact and easier to use. (It’s more reliable too…)

Durability
Have used it on import and like the wide selection of gap to most vehicle application. The tools looks and feels heavy and sturdy. It is the largest set I have ever purchased over the years. It looks like will last a lifetime. Good communication with the seller and provide a lifetime warranty. The price can never be beat. Happy with the product so far.

The kit works but know what you are buying.
Hydraulic cylinder seal failed on 1st ball joint I tried. Mechanical screw worked but needed mapp gas to get it to free up. The kit is a good kit and it worked where every other approach failed to work. I am happy with the purchase but I have serious doubts the hydraulic cylinder works to 12 tons when it failed so easily. Amazon replaced the kit with a new one but I am only using the mechanical screw and not the hydraulic cylinder.

Shankly 2-Way Hydraulic Ball Joint Separator Set - 12 Ton Hydraulic Ram
The best one is a two-way adjustment for more leverage, not 8 tons it is 12 tons, less working human power, thank you, paid 95$ postage from the USA, still worth for the money I spent, cost of repair from the mechanic is 300$, but I am proud, that I own the tool for life.
