DASBET pickle fork and ball joint separator set, 5-piece kit with molded case — 45# forged steel, interchangeable handles

Heavy-duty 5-piece DASBET pickle fork and ball joint separator set for removing ball joints, tie rods and pitman arms from cars and light trucks.

This DASBET tool kit combines five SAE-standard fork sizes, interchangeable handles and a molded storage case to tackle common suspension and steering separation jobs. Forged 45# steel, heat treatment and chrome plating increase toughness and corrosion resistance, while knurled striking and adapter handles let you use either a hammer or an air hammer depending on the workspace. The assortment covers tight-access scenarios and routine shop tasks, making it a practical addition to a professional or home mechanic’s toolbox.

What pieces come in the set and what sizes do they cover?

The DASBET set includes four fork heads and two handles designed to interchange for manual or air-hammer use. The forks match common SAE joint sizes, so you can select the correct width for track rods, ball joints and pitman arms.

• Track rod fork: 11/16"
• Ball joint fork: 15/16"
• Pitman arm fork: 1-1/8"
• Striking handle: 7-7/8" knurled shank for hammer use
• Adapter handle: 6-31/32" for air hammer attachment
• Hard storage case for organization and transport

How durable and reliable are the forks for repeated shop use?

DASBET forges the forks from 45# steel, then heat treats and chrome-plates each piece to improve wear resistance and protect against rust. The manufacturing process is aimed at reducing deformation and prolonging service life under impact and vibration typical of separator work.

• 45# forged steel construction for strength
• Heat treatment to reduce brittleness and improve toughness
• Chrome plating to minimize corrosion and surface wear
• Knurled handles protect tool threads and give a secure grip

Can I use these forks with an air hammer, and how do the handles interchange?

Yes — the set includes a 6-31/32" adapter handle designed for compatibility with most air hammers, plus a longer knurled striking handle for traditional hammer blows. The forks accept either handle so you can switch between powered and manual separation depending on access and force needed.

• Interchangeable connection between forks and both handles
• Adapter handle fits standard air hammer collets
• Knurled striking handle provides controlled manual impact
• Greater reach and penetration for tight or recessed joints

How does the storage case help with shop workflow?

The molded storage case keeps each fork and handle in its own spot so you can quickly find the right tool and reduce loss or damage. Organized storage speeds up jobs by keeping the complete set together and protecting finished surfaces from scratches when transported.

• Custom-molded slots for each fork and handle
• Protects chrome finish during storage and transport
• Compact footprint fits standard tool cabinets or vehicle trunks
• Easy inventory check before heading to a job

Who is this for: The DASBET 5-piece ball joint separator kit is suited to automotive technicians, mobile mechanics and experienced DIYers who need a versatile, robust set for steering and suspension separation tasks. If you frequently work on cars or light trucks and require both manual and air-hammer options with organized storage, this set offers a balanced combination of sizes, strength and convenience without taking up excessive space in a professional or home shop.
