Held my nose and pulled the trigger haha. Gimbal bearing puller, alignment and installation tool set. $126 out the door vs $353 for similar (same style of tools) USA made and CNC cut set. As much as I wanted and preferred the USA made set I just couldn't justify the price for a set of tools that is likely to be used just one time. Shipping (free) was faster with Vevor as well, supposed to be at my door on Friday. If they actually fit and work I suppose I'll be happy but still kinda regretting succumbing to price in my decision. I already noticed I'm getting Vevor ads and emails since I gave them my email during check out. I'll update after I receive tools but checked a bunch of reviews on Amazon and others and they were generally positive.
Well I ordered some tools from Vevor

Get prepared for a bunch of emails!
Yep they started already. Received notice that it shipped, apparently via Amazon. Shipment doesn't show up on my Amazon account though.

I bought their air hose reel for my shed. It functions and is worth what I paid for it which wasn’t very much.
I received the set the other day haven't had a chance to use it yet so don't know if it actually fits/works. The alignment tool is super heavy imagine its solid steel. The machined parts are pretty rough. It should work fine so long as it actually fits. The puller appeared to be better machined. Again if it fits it should work fine. Very disappointed by one of the bushings (not sure what its called) I was expecting steel or aluminum its plastic. Its just to seat a rubber boot with an aluminum ring hope it works. The USA part was only $35 and machined steel. I may order it anyway and chuck the plastic. Two other bushing/drivers were metal. One was steel the other aluminum. Unknown is if it fits. There was another tool for the rubber bellows it was made of steel but super flimsy. Its just to expand the boot should work fine. Have to take a pic when I get to my truck.

My brother is addicted to Vevor. Ain’t bothered myself
Here, let me sum up all the past and future negative toward Vevor comments - "I bought a cheap tool while being a cheap *** and turns out its a cheap tool, those bastards!" Vevor doesn't make their **** any more than Amazon or Home Depot does. They are a retailer that sells many levels of quality, if you buy cheap **** anywhere you get cheap ****.
Personally I am glad they are around as another option. Sometimes I just need a tool for one job, or that I am going to modify anyway. Everything I have purchased from them has been as described and met my expectations for what I paid. I have gotten some pretty nice things for a good price and had options besides horror fright to buy inexpensive stuff.

There is a reason that Amazon and other online retailers only know of of a few of my garbage gmail accounts that I generally pay absolutely no attention to, other than to delete everything in the "inbox" every few months.
I believe we've previously discussed this outfit that can't seem to establish a location and moves from place to place to stay one step ahead of State Attorneys General. But you can spend your money as you please.

So finally used it and about what I expected. Got the old gimbal bearing out and new one installed but the plate on bearing puller didn't fit bolt pattern on gimbal ring and more importantly the drive alignment tool and bearing installer (same tool) didn't fit through gimbal bearing so it was pretty much useless. Ill be ordering a USA made set soon.
Yea, I went to the actual Vevor storefront that they had just opened. Man they have all sorts of stuff. It's literally a mix of HF, HD, Ace Mart, Academy Sports, and a auto parts store all in one.
