Its a nice kit and yes we use something very similar quite often , but if your not going to use it but every once in a while , i would just rent one from the local auto parts store. I really don't think the money would be justified unless you did it for a living.

....and if all your using it for is the Jeep....its not really needed for the D30.
There are so many easy ways to remove the unit bearings/hubs without the use of special tools.
Are you having a hard time getting yours out?
