I got the OTC stuff too. More expensive then the Harbor Freight stuff, but I get a replacement the day I break my OTC!!!!! (I have done it a few times)

I'll probably try it without first because I really don't want to buy a compressor/air gun. Well, I do kinda, but I really can't afford them...

This and an air gun. Sawsall, and some elbow grease. :D

So i should be able to do my bushings/subframe and differential mounts with this, an impact, a compressor, sawzall and a torch and or drill?

pretty much. I have not done miney yet, but from what I have seen in my master bushing pack, it works. :D The subframe and diff mounts I dont have, so I cant answer for them.

i heard the new bushings go in easy and all thats really needed is a good rubber mallet, any truth to this?

haha, nope.

Well, if you're talking strictly about putting the new bushings in then yeah, they slide in like butter.

My5Ababy - looks like a decent unit for the price. Comparitvely I've purchased a 7.5hp 22cfm unit with a 60Gal horizontal tank at an auction of a shop that clsoed for $750 and considered it a great deal. That seems very fair for what you're getting. Not to mention money talks....wave some bills at him and he may crumble 100-150 dollars under :)
