DPTOOL Universal Suspension Strut Split Hub Steering Knuckle Spreader Tool Compatible with Volkswagen Audi BMW Ford Peugeot Citroën

These worked great ! Seems to be adequate in quality . Can't comment on the durability cause I have only used them once .

Build quality value for money size ease of removal durability

The spreader tool worked great

I just used this item to replace the front struts on a BMW I3. The price was very reasonable!At first I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be enough clearance or that the wedge would be too thick--nope, not a problem at all. It fit perfectly, and it made removing the strut housing from the mount simple!The metal feels solid and this spreader is one that I'll be keeping in mind as I'm sure that I'll find another use for it.

This tool came in very handy when I changed out my hub assembly. It does not fit fully into the strut hub assembly because the strut has a metal ear that runs down the side of the strut that the mounting bolts runs through but this tools goes in far enough to spread the hub assembly at the strut to relieve the clamp pressure around the strut . Definitely was a time saver and great little tool to help in disassembly and assembly. You could do the same thing with a cold chisel but this is a much safer way to take the hub assembly apart from the strut in my opinion. Gave it 4 stars because it did not fully insert into the hub assembly to split the hub from the strut but went in far enough to get the job done.

This is a sturdy and great lil tool, thought it feel flimsy but it’s well built. So far works like a charm.

The metal flexes while trying to spread the knuckle, then shoots out with incredible force, sending the two halves flying off in different directions. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS TOOL WHILE FACING YOUR DIRECTION.Instead, run the knuckle bolt backwards through the threaded side into a plate in between the knuckle bolt ears. Solid, reliable, and basically free.Do not buy this.

Does the job but the alignment dowels need to be longer because the tool likes to jam in the open position making it necessary to knock it out with a hammer. It needs to have more travel before binding from lack of support from the dowels.
