DURATECH Ball Joint Separator Set, 5-Piece Pickle Fork Kit — Forged 40# Steel & Blow-Molded Case

This professional-grade kit combines five SAE-standard forks with two handles to tackle hard-to-reach suspension and steering connections. Built from forged, heat-treated 40# steel and chrome plated for corrosion resistance, the components are designed to withstand repeated strikes and the high-impact demands of automotive work. The set ships in a blow-molded case so technicians and DIYers can organize tools and move quickly between jobs.

How does this set make separating ball joints and tie rods easier?

The interchangeable forks and handles let you choose the right shape and reach for the joint you’re removing without needing multiple dedicated tools. Knurled striking handles provide a secure grip and protect tool threads when using hammers or air hammers.

• Five SAE forks cover common sizes: 11/16", 15/16", and 1-1/8" among others
• Two handle options: a 7-7/8" knurled striking handle and a 6-31/32" adapter for air hammers
• Interchangeable design reduces tool count and speeds job setup

Are these separators durable enough for frequent shop use?

Yes — each fork is forged from 40# steel and heat treated for superior strength, then chrome plated to resist rust and extend service life. The construction resists bending and surface wear under heavy impact conditions commonly found in suspension work.

• Forged, heat-treated 40# steel for impact resistance
• Chrome plating for corrosion protection and easier cleaning
• Knurled handles to reduce slippage and protect tool threads

Which vehicle components will this kit fit and what sizes are included?

The kit targets standard-size ball joints, tie rods, and pitman arms found on many cars and light trucks. The five-piece set provides a range of fork widths and profiles so you can match the correct fork to the joint type and clearance constraints.

• Track rod fork: 11/16" for smaller tie rods
• Ball joint fork: 15/16" for common ball joint separations
• Pitman arm fork: 1-1/8" for larger steering components
• Two handles: 7-7/8" knurled striking handle and 6-31/32" air hammer adapter

How does the case and kit layout help during repairs?

The molded carrying case keeps each fork and handle organized so you can identify sizes quickly and transport the set without parts coming loose. Clear organization reduces time searching for the right fork and protects components from knocks during storage.

• Sturdy blow-molded case for secure storage and transport
• Dedicated slots for both handles and all forks to prevent shifting
• Compact footprint fits into tool cabinets or vehicle trunks

Who is this for: The DURATECH 5-piece ball joint separator set suits professional mechanics, mobile technicians, and knowledgeable DIYers who service suspension or steering systems on cars and light trucks. If you need a compact, durable kit that covers common SAE sizes, provides both hammer and air-hammer options, and keeps everything organized, this set delivers the versatility and durability required for frequent workshop use.
