OTC Launches Two New Tools

OTC is now offering two new tools to help speed up the removal and replacement process of tie rods, ball joints and retaining clips – the 2497 three-piece Push Pin/Body Clip Pliers and 7503HD Tie Rod and Ball Joint Remover.

The 2497 three-piece Push Pin/Body Clip Pliers Set removes plastic body fasteners and retaining clips, with each plier offering different angled jaws – including straight, 45 degrees and 90 degrees.

According to OTC, the tool’s design eliminated the need to provide replacement clips by lifting the center pin and pulling body clips without damaging the anchors. Additionally, the set also comes with an OTC lifetime warranty.

The company’s expanded capacity 7503HD Tie Rod and Ball Joint Remover removes a wide range of tie rods and ball joints from cars, trucks, SUVs and heavy-duty vehicles. The tool features three interchangeable tips including cone, flat and cup and offers twice the force applied at 10-ton pulling capacity than its predecessors, OTC said.
