I didn't even look at the tool, most ball joint separators are just a fork.

Need to look. This is not a "pickle fork".

Umm yeah I said I didn't look. Of course I've looked now... but like I said, hammer does same thing, except instead of screwing you just hit. I don't see why you would spend money on the tool or even take the time to rent it from autozone when a hammer works fine. I'm just saying a hammer and wrenches are all that is needed, but if you/anyone wants to get special tools, that's fine. Go for it.

Really I like the tie rod puller and air ratchet myself. Not swinging, no turning.

Hammer works fine, block of wood in the cam gears works fine, and pulling your rear suspension struts off the stopper with a rope and another car, again fine because it worked...
