The all new Goliath C-frame press included in the 78197 set continues the success of our 78100 Goliath XL press with some added benefits. The new Goliath design features 2X the available working throat space when using most adapters compared to our standard press, and 25% deeper arms than any press including the Goliath XL. This means you can more freely position large adapters or stack multiple inline AND enjoy a longer arm length positioning the press away from interferences working on larger applications including 3-1/2 & 4-1/2 ton trucks. In order to achieve both of these changes that result in a great increase in leverage working against the tool, Astro has implemented our beefiest c-frame design yet while utilizing our in-house trusted forged steel alloy that has made our ball-joint presses professional grade. Designed for work on 2WD & 4WD Domestic, Import & Euro vehicles through the 2020’s the included manual provide information for over 1,100 applications. Along with the C-frame press, all adapters in set are100% forged and the large ball-bearing forcing screw is class 12.9 heat treated for max durability.

Never again will I have to borrow that broken piece of crap from the parts store! This thing is heavy duty and made the job so much easier.

I purchased this to replace the HF press that lost the shape of a C. This one seems pretty stout. The cups are good quality.

Did a lot of research and came to the conclusion that this is the best ball joint press for the money. Worked awesome for me. Effortlessly pressed in and out ball joints on an 07 Grand Cherokee. Doesn't have every adapter you'll need for every vehicle but I used a large socket I had and you can purchase more adapters if you want.

Much better than the cheap kits sold. Definitely not everything needed for every vehicle but a little creativity goes a long way.

Crazy strong. I bought several other tools I was so impressed with this set. I used it on the front ball joints for a 2001 Ford Excursion 4x4 diesel, same as F250, Dana 50 for same year, and they pushed right out. It's was like magic!

Not really impressed with this kit. Bought it to remove a suspension bushing. Ended up not even working for it. Was big, heavy, clunky and all around a pain in the rear to handle. Not enough cup options. Astro riveters and riv-nut tools I’ve bought in the past work fine but this one didn’t really work for my situation. May work someday for something so I’ll keep it, but ended up buying a 20T harbor freight press to do the job this was supposed to do.

Very heavy duty tool, it could have used a couple more sizes of press cups but with a little of good old yankee ingenuity I was able to get it to work for my truck.
