You can buy a brand new one on Amazon with a warranty for $121.00.

Can also rent it for half that price, and if the bushings last 10 years you'll probably get rid of the X before you need to redo them again.

Tool is only good for a person who is in the business of repairing cars or just like to have tools.

Wow thats smoking price - the Baum tool I used to rent out here was $320 when it was new, I bought it from a guy who used once for $200 - and started renting it a few times and it worked great

I agree though after you do them once you won't need to for a very long time

Hhmm, a used one for $75 ...
