Worked great
Used it on a 1994 BMW 325is. The rod ends come with a set of 32mm bolt faces that are pretty easy to clamp on to. But this chassis was rusted together all over the place, which was the reason we were replacing the whole rod. There was no way to get the threads between the inner and outer rod un-siezed. We hammered the tabs on the locking washers out of the way, bolted on this tool nice and tight, and twisted the inner rod off the rack with a long-handled 3/8" racket, easy peasey.
Inner tie rod tool
Worked a lot better than I was expecting. Had to change inner tierods on a 2020 compass. They don't have the flat spots to use the regular style tool and are set far into the subframe so you can't grab them with a pipe wrench unless you remove the lower arm. Figured I'd give this a shot and try to save some time. This tool worked great. Because of the design and space limitation your only able to get about 1/4 to 1/2 turn without resetting it , but that was enough to break it free and then unscrew by hand. Definitely worth having in the tool box.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Perfect tool
If U have no flat(round) tie rod heads. This the perfect tool to break them loose from your rack. Then I used the tie rod tool from harbor freight. Had to buy a 1 3/8" insert online because it didn't come with one. Used moog tie rods on 07 dodge grand caravan sxt.

This tool worked much better than I ever expected
I used this on a 2008 PT Cruiser with the OEM inner tie rods with no notching. This tool was easy to put on and tighten down. Using a 9" torque bar, it released the rod in one turn. I was fortunate enough to be able to then unscrew it the rest of the way by hand. I bought this online for store pickup and the "HONEY" coupon app found a coupon for $5.50 dollars off, plus tax, I paid $16 and change. For the price even without the coupon, I highly recommend this.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Great Tool, Great Price
Used this tool on a recent repair. This clamped on the inner tie rod end and easily allowed my 3/8" ratchet to loosen the inner rod for removal. It just wraps around the tie rod and tightens with a 9/16" wrench. This same tool allowed me to use a torque wrench to install it to the factor spec. All-In-All, an easy to use tool at the right price.
