Lower Ball Joint Removal

Hi, I am about to change my lower ball joints. The car has 107,000 miles on it and I would like to get them changed and then get the car aligned.
My question is, does anyone have a recommendation as to which ball joint seperator tool to use. A part number or brand name would be great. All I can find locally is the old "pickle fork" tool that you whack with a hammer. The idea of using this tool just does not appeal to me.
Thanks in advance.
