Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Britool ATC12 1" Fork Separator used for?
The Britool ATC12 Fork Separator is a specialist automotive tool designed to help separate ball joints, tie rods, steering joints and suspension components using a compatible pneumatic air hammer. The powered hammering action makes it particularly useful for professional UK garages, mechanics and vehicle workshops dealing with stubborn or corroded components.
Will the Britool ATC12 fit my pneumatic air hammer?
The Britool ATC12 has a standard .401" air hammer shank, making it compatible with many professional pneumatic air hammers that accept .401" shank accessories. Always check the shank specification of your air hammer before purchasing, as compatibility can vary between manufacturers and models.
What size is the fork on the Britool ATC12 separator?
The ATC12 features a 1-inch wide separator fork designed for suitable automotive steering and suspension applications. The fork is driven by the repeated impact action of an air hammer to help separate compatible joints and components that may be difficult to release using conventional hand tools.
Can the ATC12 be used for ball joints and tie rod ends?
Yes. The Britool ATC12 pneumatic fork separator is suitable for appropriate ball joint, tie rod, steering and suspension separation work. Because fork separators can potentially damage rubber boots or seals, they are particularly suited to applications where the joint or component is being removed for replacement rather than reuse.
Is this a new Britool tool or a used item?
This is genuine new old stock Britool tooling, not a previously used tool. Due to its age and long-term storage, some examples may have paint chips, surface marks or other minor cosmetic blemishes. These cosmetic imperfections are reflected in the clearance price and do not affect the tool's intended operation.
Why is the Britool ATC12 Fork Separator being sold as a clearance item?
The ATC12 is part of a limited quantity of genuine older Britool workshop stock being offered at a reduced clearance price. This makes it a useful opportunity for UK automotive technicians, classic car workshops, independent garages and Britool tool users looking for a 1" .401" air hammer fork separator, subject to remaining stock.
