Will be worth what you pay. They run them on sale all the time for $30 too.

Sometimes getting them out is a pain. I've had to drill all around the rubber part with a small drill then cut and collapse the outter sleeve.

You may want to ask around about this particular kit or similar ones in that price range...have heard of a few of these bending. I buy stuff form Harbor Freight but the quality of the items is not up to brand name items. Just my opinion.

I also own the HF unit. I have beat the snot out of it even using my impact on it and it has held up fine. For the money, it is one of the most vaulable tools in my shop.

Agree 100% but have not yet used it for leaf spring bushings in particular.

Well I'm gonna respect our "Presidents" opinion and get this set...I've looked at it b-4 but shyed away due to other tools from them that did'nt hold up, for the price of this I guess I'll give it a shot ....thnks for the feedback "old man"'.
