Crap, That's what I was afraid of. I was going to get one today....just went on sale for $29.99.
Quality control isn't one of their strong points LOL. I've bought a few tools from them...some lived, some didn't.
Has anyone used the 4x4 adapter kit? $54.99 on sale today.

I can always use more adapters for my OTC press.....guess I'm keeping it.
It's been bullet proof for over 10 years and 100's of ball joint & u joint replacements.

That 4x4 adapter kit looks like a good one... I need one myself... been using a piece of galvanized pipe I found and machined it to fit ...last time I did the uppers, I drilled and installed a tiny 90 degree JD metric grease fitting in bottom of the joint... it clears the u joint by slightly over a whisker and I hit it with a couple shots of lubriplate grease. Seems to make em live longer. I've got an OTC kit... hope I never break it... OTC's customer service / repair....... uhhhhhhhh....SUCKS??

Yah! me to, I've made a bunch of adapters but they are all soft steel....doesn't hold up well to the abuse. LOL.
I'll be the guinea pig to see if they hold up.
I use moog joints, they come with grease fittings but don't use the them...too tall.
I use the shortest 90º greasers I can find and grind the top off a little bit too. They're
close but don't hit the axle u-joints unless the spindle needle bearings wear
out....good indicator for replacement when the fitting is gone
Don't know anything about OTC customer service...never needed it.
