Each fork is forged, heat-treated, and chrome-plated for corrosion resistance and long service life. Interchangeable fork heads and two handle styles let you use either a conventional hammer or an air hammer, giving flexibility at the garage or roadside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this set speed up steering and suspension work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acymner set simplifies removal by providing the proper fork size for the joint you need to separate, reducing time spent trying mismatched tools. Knurled striking handles give reliable impact transfer and grip, so strikes land where intended and slippage is minimized. Durable steel construction means the forks keep their shape under repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFive SAE-sized forks fit common ball joints, tie rods, and pitman arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterchangeable forks pair with either handle for faster swaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled handles improve control and reduce missed strikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicle parts is each piece meant for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach fork is sized for typical suspension and steering components found on cars and light trucks. Using the right fork reduces the chance of bending or damaging the joint housing while separating. The set covers small track rods up to larger pitman arms so you won’t need multiple single-use tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrack rod fork 11\/16\" for smaller tie rod ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall joint fork 15\/16\" for many common lower\/upper ball joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePitman arm fork 1-1\/8\" for larger pitman arms and heavy connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these with power tools or only hand tools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes two handle types to match your preferred striking method. The 7-3\/4\" knurled striking handle is sized for traditional hammer strikes, while the 6-3\/4\" adapter handle is built for air hammer attachment.

Robust construction reduces deformation when prying joints apart, and protected threads extend the life of the striking handle.
