OEMTOOLS 27178 Master Inner Tie Rod Removal Tool Set, Removes and Installs Tie Rods, 12 Crowfoot Adapters, Compatible with Cars, Trucks, and SUVs

Amazing

It works well and got the job done. Well constructed. Price was fine

First I want to start off I don't do reviews but I felt this time it needed to be done only to hopefully pass on useful information to someone who's going to use the tool. I stumbled upon the best way to use this tool, once you put the wrench on the inner tie rod you'll want to reach in and hold the back side of it in place while you place the tube over the inner tie rod get the two notches lined up slide the tube into place with The Notches lined up you can now grab the little keeper tab on the tube slide it over which locks the wrench in the tube whatever you do do not push forward always keep slight resistance pulled back to you which keeps the wrench tightly in place on the tube. The first one I did I didn't realize what was going on but it would not take much to push forward and the wrench would fall off and you would have to take it completely apart and get it all set up again that being said the second one I did I kept constant tension pulled towards me and the tool held perfectly in place nice and tight I hope that helps people the tool worked great once I figured that out.

Seems like a good kit. Came completely together in a hard case and has a lot of car adapters. Well built.

I used it on a 2005 Chevy Malibu, and it worked perfectly.

Not worth the buy at ALL!!This unit is made for trucks & cars, I was using this tool on a mid sized car, changing out inner tie rods, every time trying to break loose the inner tie rods the"crows foot" insert would just pop over the bolt like knotches, every time, even when tightening it would do the same thing!! Horrible buy!!I even up using a crescent wrench to break these loose and to tighten them when reinstalling.I would of sent it back for a return, but I had to trim one of the inserts (crows foot) to get a tight fit.I wouldn't recommend buying this tool.This evaluation is from a seasoned mechanic.

My only real complaint about this product is for my Volkswagen the tolerances on the crows foot was a bit much, I ended up putting a dime on 1 side and a layer of electrical tape to secure it after that it gripped fine but for the cost the quality control is lacking a bit everything else I have from oem tools has been rock solid, maybe I just got a bad set of these hope it helps someone

This tool did a very tough job. My car is up in age and is at that point when even simple stuff is challenging due to rust/age and adds time and complexity to the job. I first tried a sub $20 clamp style tool, which just slipped. I could have tightened the clamp more and gave it another try (and I did but not again a 3rd time), but due to the off centered nature of that clamp style tool I felt it was better ponying up the money for a tool that I can turn from the centerline instead of offset.I'm glad I didn't try to go further with the clamp style, and I waited for this one. It had the size I needed and made a good connection (have to lock it in place and pull back when turning). It tool quite a bit of force with a cheater bar but the tie rod end came out. I feel being able to turn it in line with the center of rotation helped a lot, and the length of it put it in a good position to turn. I can't see the clamp style working with the amount of force I needed, but who knows. On the other hand it is quite a bit up in price compared to other similar styles which I may have tried if it was not for the clamp style not working, but I do feel this one is quality and it is solid.
