That joint has to go in and out perfectly straight or it wont go
at all or will be hard and will bend the press

Is this the HF ball joint press tool that people are using?

Other than the fittings, how is it different from a large
c-clamp (6")?
It's the connection to the fittings that make the difference.
Mine worked - once.
I had to sledge-hammer it back into shape about 4 times during
the pressing of one ball joint. The joint went in. I don't
know that the "C" part is of any use.
I have considered welding some _heavy_ side braces onto it...
