What do you guys think of the kind that use crow’s feet? How do they hold up, especially with a pneumatic impact gun? I used the OEM brand type that Autozone rents and it worked well and seemed very stout, but it only has 3 sizes. This is what I am looking at. **Lisle 45750 Inner Tie Rod Tool** [http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p\_10153\_12605\_SP101A9487S2118910401P?prdNo=8&blockNo=8&blockType=G8](http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SP101A9487S2118910401P?prdNo=8&blockNo=8&blockType=G8) ---
