One of the most dangerous tools to use… the ball joint pops loose and the tool goes flying…. I’ve learned to keep hands and face away from it when turning screw. There should be a warning label on the box

If you're servicing a wheel bearing and your ball joints are still good, you want to use a hex nut or something to keep the threads from getting damaged with that tool. Use a new castle nut as well, most castle nuts are soft. Protected threads and new castle nuts reduces the chance of dealing with a spinning ball joint.

No need to be concerned about the threads when removing bad ball joints. The bad ball joints aren't going to be reused .The new ball joints will have new threads .

I would not recommend that tool to anyone who has a rusted corroded ball joint that won’t come out. I’d rather use a ball joint press tool or the pickle fork or the claw to get it out. Those tools get damaged easily and pop out dangerously
