Thanks leather,

I bet that you are right on the width of the wings on the cheapie compared to the MB tool. I have another post to check if I really need a compressor for the next job or two that I need done now. If I can wait until september, I am going to have my wife check with her brother in zurich when she is on summer vacation. He is a tool maker there and seems to have a fair amount of free time. I will probably try and wait and see if he can find/make one. Same goes for a lower ball joint press. If I can obtain one, I would be willing to "rent" it to you for the price of return postage.

later
