The all new Goliath C-frame press included in the 78197 set continues the success of our 78100 Goliath XL press with some added benefits. The new Goliath design features 2X the available working throat space when using most adapters compared to our standard press, and 25% deeper arms than any press including the Goliath XL. This means you can more freely position large adapters or stack multiple inline AND enjoy a longer arm length positioning the press away from interferences working on larger applications including 3-1/2 & 4-1/2 ton trucks. In order to achieve both of these changes that result in a great increase in leverage working against the tool, Astro has implemented our beefiest c-frame design yet while utilizing our in-house trusted forged steel alloy that has made our ball-joint presses professional grade. Designed for work on 2WD & 4WD Domestic, Import & Euro vehicles through the 2020’s the included manual provide information for over 1,100 applications. Along with the C-frame press, all adapters in set are100% forged and the large ball-bearing forcing screw is class 12.9 heat treated for max durability. Review: Goliath does the job with ease. - This is a great ball joint press kit. It has everything you need to remove the most stubborn ball joint or u-joint. You just need to supply the impact gun. Pros: Large opening to take on large steering knuckle or u-joints. Large variety of tube and plate adapters for different sized parts. Nicely organized case. Very well built, heavy duty. Cons: Because it is heavy duty, it is heavy, so get help holding the different adapters in place. It can be done by one person but it is challenging. I used it on upper and lower ball joints and Dana 60 U-joints on a seasoned Ford F-350, and it was like they weren't there. It pushed them out with ease and I did not need a vice to hold them. If you have a big project, this is a great press kit. Make sure you have a good impact gun, air or electric. Picture has a quarter on the car for scale. The black oxide finish seems to help with rust prevention. Review: Great kit - This kit is very strong and parts for it are very reasonable from the manufacturer. I used it on my 2500 Silverado ball joints and they were stubborn. The vice was large enough to fit and it's very strong. I did end up buying another cup from the manufacturer, needed 2 solid cups to get the proper clearance and strength. The large split cup wasn't strong enough and splayed out. Other than that, fantastic kit for the money. ## Features - Astro's latest large forged alloy C frame press with industry leading strength and both a wider opening and longer arms to more easily fit adapters - Set includes all the receiver tubes and removing/installing adapters needed to work on press-fit upper and lower ball joints - Works on 2WD & 4WD Domestic, Import & Euro vehicles through the 2020’s, includes information for over 1,100 applications - All forged adapters and class 12.9 heat treated ball bearing forcing screw for max durability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01JBOIA0W | | Best Sellers Rank | #55,979 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #46 in Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools | | Color | Standard | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (87) | | Date First Available | March 6, 2023 | | Included Components | BALL JOINT | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 38.4 pounds | | Item model number | 78197 | | Manufacturer | Astro Tools | | Part Number | 78197 | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Dimensions | 24.4 x 19.4 x 5.12 inches | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | ## Images ![Astro Tools 78197 Goliath LARGE Ball Joint Service Tool and Master Adapter Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Qf7tWybvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goliath does the job with ease. *by I***N on May 14, 2026* This is a great ball joint press kit.

Pressed the ball joints out nicely.
