I had a rattling on our 2007 CRV and felt some play in the inner tie rod. Used this tool, which worked great and seems to be well built. Could have done the inner tied rod replacement without this tool but you never know how hard a job is going to be until you get in there. Whether ICE cars or EV, all vehicles should continue to have tie rods so I figured this will be a good investment over time for my DIY projects. Spoiler! This didn't fix my rattle which ended up being the sway bar endlink but at 200k miles, replacing the tie rod wasn't a bad thing to do.
