Trav, I absolutely agree that the OTC set would be the far better purchase. I only needed the ball joint tool, so I opted for the HF one as if it didn't work I'd only be out $15. And it was the only one available on a shelf when I was into the job and realized I needed it.
When I know that I'll be buying a tool for more than 1 or 2 uses, I will always go with the higher quality ones. This occasion, I just happen to have issues with the control arm that I installed and they were warrantied a couple of times so the ball joint tool saw more action than I thouhgt it would.
