Its industrial finish helps protect against corrosion for maximum durability. The BTCS1 is designed for use on most Subaru® vehicles through 2018.

They easily remove stubborn ball joints that are heavily corroded.  The puller screw threads onto the ball joint stem and the cup rests against the steering knuckle.  The 3/4" hex on the puller screw can be driven by hand or with an impact gun to easily remove the ball joint.  The industrial finish helps protect against corrosion.
