• Ken-Tool Introduces New Suspension Service Tool

      Ken-Tool has released its new T39B Impact Separator tool, which is designed to replace the traditional hammer and fork typically used to service suspensions. It will give the technician a safe and efficient means to remove worn suspension components from a vehicle, said the company. The tool uses a slide-ram design to remove ball joints, tie rod ends and shock links during replacement service. It includes two interchangeable 9-inch forks that are made from heat-treated forged alloy steel.


      The T39B-1 fork has a 5/8-inch opening that’s designed to remove tire rod ends and shock lines, while the T39B-2 fork uses a 15/16-inch opening for ball joint service. A quick exchange pin with a safety clip allows the fork to be replaced quickly.

      The tool weighs 11 pounds with a fork installed and features a rubber safety grip drive handle and vibration-absorbing rubber grip on the outer tube to protect the operator from shock and provide a slip-free grasp, said the company. Additionally, a protective flange sits at the top of the tube to help prevent pinching the technician’s hands.
