The latest in w123 ball joint tools

Yes, for pressing the big one in...

This is 2015 edition...

Of course there are threads about the HF one, and the Autozone tools. I think that SIR makes a good one...

But what about the eBay ones.

Here is one from Germany (China, I'm sure). Does it ship from Berlin to give legitimacy??

This one has a few more parts and is a "master" kit....

Anyone tried any of these or have a reason to think that they wouldn't work for installing the big ball joint into the knuckle on a w123?

On the first one I have always wondered if there is something in the kit that would work on a W123?

So,

I'd be willing to try as a Guinea pig... But I don't have a car apart, so I don't know what I'd be looking at to see if anything is useful..,

On this one, in the comments, someone said they were able to use it on a 190e. Has anyone done an analysis of the sizing of various press in ball joints from newer cars to see if there is size consistency?
