Figured there must be a better way. Just looking at that U joint makes me cringe. [video=youtube;NUA3MFRB9UU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUA3MFRB9UU[/video]
Ive used these and if you have to do u joints they are the best option. Certianally better than the hammer method.
I think I'm in love.....
That is pretty sweet. Much better than a hammer!
And for only 400 bucks you can have one. Bob
Bought one 15 years ago, is a real time saver for sure, and for $225 versus $350 from the snap-on truck.
I got one. Works good. I found that it rarely takes out a u-joint without whacking the opposite side with a hammer. That and after a bunch of stuck u-joints that the threads will start to strip. Luckily it has a lifetime warrantee.
Way ta rain on the parade Mike.
Sorry rob, just trying to give you the low down on it. It does work way better than just a hammer but I'm on my 2nd tool and that ones about wore out but I don't regret spending the money!
Looks neat. I've always just got the torch and cut them in half. Usually the heat makes it so the remaining parts just tap out with hammer. This might be a nicer option than the sparkle wrench though.
