Ball Joint tools

What is the gold standard for Ball Joint removal tools?

I would like a tool that will force open the clamp on the strut/hub, do these exist?

Using a cold chisel/big screwdriver is not very easy.

I have seen tools advertised that press the ball joint out from the clamp...
and What I do is hammer down onto the wishbone arm using a big drift.

The hammering is putting a lot of pressure on the internals of the ball joint. not good.

I have not seen one of these press tools in action though. and how easy they are to use and if they pressure the ball joint internals at all.
