Hello again, KDTX Tool Dad Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I enjoyed watching today's video. That looked more involved than I previously thought. After reassembly you still have a alignment to due? Again thank you 👌
I've got one of the cheaper wheelbearing kits, and its ok for occasional use, it does the job. Im going to have to get a better one soon. Probably the Maddox just because of the ITC or super coupon discounts. I've got the Maddox ball joint kit from Harbor freight. It's good, but I dont like that I still need to buy the expansion kit for it to cover the rest of the makes and models. If the Icon kit would have come out sooner, I would have just bought it. Most of the brands like Powerbuilt, OEM, Gearwrench, and Maddox are the exact same quality. I would'nt be surprised if they come from the same manufacturer. I've been slowly talking myself into going ahead and buying a set of those Snap-on long nose combination pliers and a set of the flank drive style regular ones. Im trying to wait for the patent to run out so Icon can copy them again, but thats taking too long. Currently I have just over 30 different pairs and styles of pliers, so its been hard for me to justify the cost of Snap-on. I keep telling myself that I could just buy 4 pairs or so of Knipex or NWS for the cost of those two Snap-on pliers.
Yea you can definitely buy more for the price of one SO, and for the specialty tools definitely hard to justify for sure. I imagine icon will copy it in the future for sure.

Glad you enjoyed it, and it will most definitely need to get realigned.
