And the expensive ball joint press i rented was already sprung. It
was no better than the HF. The trick with the HF (or anyone else's)
press is to put tension on the joint, then smack it with a 2 to 4 lb
hammer. THe old joint will come out without ruining the press if you
use care. Going in is a cinch.
I have the hf ball joint press, pressed many sets in and out with it
with no problem

Some of them are great, some are junk. I don't mind the poor
finish so long as the working bits are the right size and shape and
they don't bend. There is nothing on earth more annoying than
open-end wrenches that visibly spread when you use them, except
possibly a Harbor Freight ball joint tool that bends when you press
out a ball joint.
Don't buy that set, its worse than crap.

Sears' demographic has changed significantly, and they are
pretty obvious about it.
I forgot to add that even 40 years ago, the cheap junk wrenches
from india that you could buy for $3-5 per set were better than
crapsman wrenches.
The indian wrenches were almost identical to the "Heyco" german
wrenches in my BMW and MB toolkits.
