Best tools for separating tie rods and control arm ball joints

Interesting stuff. I’ve already tried “shock therapy” with various hammers (bronze, lead, etc.). I’ve got two cars to do, so I’m looking for some tools that will “first do no harm.” OTC used to make some great stuff, and some of Snap-On’s pullers looked suspiciously similar. I just thought I’d survey FABO and see what‘s new. Summit, Mancini, and others have stuff. And, of course, there is always Harbor Freight… I had a really nice pickle fork for my PH-50 air hammer, but it seems to have disappeared too.
Bronze and lead aint gonna give you the shock you need.
