Ball joint press recommendations?

Not sure what the HF press is like, but I ordered these two a few year ago and it worked to replace mine, and one other TJ’s ball joints… I’ve used the press a few times on various U-joint jobs.

As stated above, if I was running a shop or doing jobs for money, I’d buy better stuff, but for the limited use I have for it, it’s perfect.

I just did balljoint deletes with the HF tool, I bought the adapter kit also but I was able to do the swap without any adapters. It worked great. I don’t like renting the presses because they take a lot of force and who knows how it was treated. I do know the one I rented before was bone dry no grease.

Do the adapters appear to fit the HF press?

I've always used the OTC set. Compared to my HF one, the OTC one feels and looks like a superior product.
