Haven’t used them yet but they are heavy and seem really well made. The case is also really nice and organized.

Works great! A little fiddly to remove bushes, but very simple to install bushes. Had all four bushes changed in an hour and a half.

Me han servido de mucha ayuda. Use un separador de brazo pitman de otra marca y se abrio la pinsa. Pero la powerbuilt si aguanto. Valio la pena la compra.

I tried to rent this tool from a local auto parts store but the only one I found was damaged beyond use and was also missing the receiving cup. This is the exact tool the auto parts store offers for rent (same brand). There are cheaper versions of this tool on Amazon but I ended up ordering this tool and it was definitely worth it. The tool is well constructed and comes with a nice case. I used this to remove and install the upper control arm bushings on a 1999 GMC sonoma and it worked better than I expected. It probably took 5 minutes to remove the bushings from each control arm and another 5 minutes to install the new bushings. It got rid of that annoying squeaking noise and the truck drives much better now!

I Bought this kit used the big pitman puller once , it worked great lots of pulling pressure . 2 days later it broke on another pitman arm. I had to buy a heavy duty impact puller replacement from NAPA. The long tall puller in this kit is very handy and fits perfect with tight grab on idler arm joints, this makes the entire purchase worth it!

I used this tool successfully to change the 22-year old upper (and lower) control arm bushings on my 1998 Toyota Tacoma 2wd 5-lug. The tool is designed for older American cars with the "A-arm" style upper control arm with a shaft through the bushings. I took a chance and got lucky one size of the included adaptors fit perfectly for my truck.The quality of the tool is good, better than expected. I torqued on the C-frame pretty hard (with hand tools, no impact) to remove the old factory bushings and it never flexed or deformed. I considered a few cheaper no-name versions but am glad I spent the extra $20 for the Powerbuilt.The C-shaped adaptor that goes around the shaft to push out the bushing was too short to fully remove the Toyota bushing so I cut a section out of an old bushing to stack inside and extend the reach. (See photos.)Note the Toyota design requires removal of the the outside end of the bushing to allow this or any removal tool to fit against the end of the control-arm tube. The factory service manual just says cut. I used an air hammer and chisel to bend up the lip for clearance then cut with a reciprocating saw. That was the most difficult part of the job.Installation was easy. Used the same c-adaptor with the push cup to get the new bushing started. Replaced it with a flat bar to seat the last few millimeters.Bonus - I did not get pictures but I was able to use the adaptors in various combinations to remove and install the lower control arm and strut bar bushings as well, no burning or drilling the bushings. The C-frame was not helpful for the lowers so I used some all-thread and grade-8 hardware to press the bushings out and in, but the included cups and adaptors made this easy with a little head scratching and a couple sockets to get the setups just right. If I had had access to a standard Ball Joint removal kit with a larger collection of adaptors and cups it would have been faster to set up but I was able to make it go right with the included parts.I removed one bushing from the UCA via the caveman method (drilling the rubber, heating with a torch, hammer and punches, lots of swearing) before I found this tool. A couple of hours caveman versus under 10 minutes and no swearing using the tool... I am happy with this purchase even if I don't use it again for years.

Awesome tool!!! It was delivered within a few hours from the time I went to Amazon to order it. I went straight to my garage and opened the box, took out a puller and pressed out an Outer Tie Rod on my Toyota Sequoia just like that. I mean, it was so easy, it was almost like cutting through buttermilk cheesecake. I know a thing or two about tools, and these babies are awesome! Very strong and well made, they look and feel durable. These pullers will really make your front end job (s) enjoyable instead of stress and pain. I am actually replacing the upper and lower ball joints on my Sequoia, but I had to pop out my outer tie rod which is in very good shape, so I obviously did not want to damage the rubber or integrity of my tie rod and this kit delivered. It was done effortlessly, fast and smooth. The tie rod was very stuck, but the power of the puller was so overwhelming that the tie rod made a very loud bang (like a heavy caliber gun shot) when it popped out. I mean it was a joy watching this tool perform so incredibly. I STRONGLY recommend this kit. GREAT TOOL!!!
