Tiger Tool10102 Heavy-Duty Universal Joint Puller

I would sooner pay twice the money of the green ones than have problems on the side of the road. Just check the reviews on each tool. The Green one has so many people saying they broke. I looked up Tiger Tool and I could not find anyone that was complaining about there's breaking.

I used this tool on a 2003 Dodge 3500 4WD front axle U-joints. The tool is certainly heavy duty and I can't complain about its strength and durability, that part is impressive. For this particular truck, it doesn't work out so well. The American Axle U-joints for this axle are pressed in with very tight tolerances. In addition, they rust and seize in place. This tool will push them out, but unless you are very careful and use a torch to heat up the yoke (use LOTS of heat), you end up damaging the yoke as you push out the U-joint caps. You would think the huge, heavy duty yoke would not bend, but I destroyed 2 sets of U-joints trying to press them back into the yoke because the ears on the yoke were spread apart and didn't align properly. It is not the tool's fault that this happens, it is just doing its job. In fact, the tool is so strong that it broke one of the U-joint caps when I was pressing it out. I had to use a torch to be able to press out the remaining piece of the cap, but the tool did its job properly. I ended up buying a replacement axle shaft with the U-joint already installed because the yokes on the old axle shaft were damaged in the process of pressing out the U-joint. Because of that, I paid almost $200 for this tool and it was a waste. As far as value for the money, this tool is way overpriced now that there are other tools out that will do the same thing.

love it

Worked like a charm.

Awesome tool
