Mueller-Kueps 609 400 460 Press and Pull Kit with XL C-Clamp

Very nice set! As you can tell there are plenty of cheap knock offs of this set on amazon. However I seriously doubt their quality can match this set. It’s very heavy duty, and the case is big and heavy. I am confident this will last many years! Buying cheap gives questionable reliability. If your a weekend diy guy maybe you can get away with one of those but for professional use I would go straight to this set! Sleeves all fit very precisely with in each size up, no slop room but they slide easily through each other. The end caps hold the sleeves with tight tolerances so they won’t shift out of place when tightening. All clamp parts fit tight into the clamp as well. The only thing I could say which might not be a big deal is I had a sleeve that was exactly the same diameter as the bushing. I am worried that this could inadvertently bind and damage a control arm. So you might have to undersize a sleeve to the bushing. I’d love maybe an adapter set that changes the set from going in 2mm increments to to 1mm increments for a better fit. I’m going to experiment on finding a way to do that. Glad I bought the set and soon I will be getting the XS sleeve set to complete this one. Buying this is money well spent in my mind!

I've been fixing cars for 30 years. This is one of the best tools I've bought. I purchased it he at Amazon at almost half the price of the tool truck. I couldn't believe how easy it was to replace lower control arm bushings. I even used parts of the kit to install a front crankshaft seal on a 1980 Corvette. I only wish I had bought this tool years ago.

This thing is a monster. We had been looking at something like this for a little while but the price and not being familiar with the brand kept us making excuses not to buy it. After the last battle with bushings that didn't go very smooth we pulled the trigger and got this unit. It's HEAVY seems very well built and has handled the little stuff like it was nothing. Still waiting for a nasty one to come in to really give it a test but don't regret it at all so far. Wish there was a spot in the case to hold the threaded rods but the case is already pretty large so the rods just ride loose in the case. It's pretty nit picky but it's also the only complaint I have about it. I should have bought it when I first started looking for something better.
