 Spring compressor February 5, 2010

Well made tool, and for the price, it can't be beat. Ruggedly built, and very easy to use. Did the job very adequately. Has safety clips so it won't jump off the spring as you compress.
Works well June 9, 2010

This thing was strong and sturdy enough to change the strut mounts on a 99 VW beetle. The good thing is that you can actually reverse the steel grips so that you can compress the springs in the car. It's not the recommended way to compress the springs, but it was necessary to get the passenger side spring out of the VW.

Ordered to do a strut replacement on a 2003 Hyundai Elantra. The quality is acceptable for occassional use and they worked on the rear springs just fine. However, they would not compress the front springs enough to release the tension. I had to buy a different one from the local auto parts store to finish the job. I suspect they would work fine for most applications, but if you aren't sure it might be better to spend the extra money and get the ones from a brick and morter store for easier return if they don't work out right.
 poor design, cheap materials July 18, 2010

You can see the metal shedding off of the screw as it turns. The single hook end is also too "tall" in the interior dimension and prevents complete compression on some springs.
