 Does what its suppose to do Jun 10, 2008
By W. LUK
"hluk2000"
Good quality, storage case is a plus. Tool does it's job. Just make sure you grease up the threads before using. A few shots of WD40 did the trick for me. Pair functions fine, no slipping on the spring encountered during compression if you use the pair on opposite sides of the spring. Hold down pins won't work if your springs are too thick. Not a problem because they retract out of the way.

 Nut close to spring, hard to insert Sep 25, 2009
By Richard Collette
I used these on the front end struts for my 96 Firebird. First, the hooks are so tall that I had to jam them in between the coils, severely scraping the newly painted springs. Second, there isn't much distance between the nut and the spring. I had to alternate back and forth very frequently to prevent the spring from leaning into the socket being used to tighten the compressor, which would then prevent the socket from being able to be removed. In the end I probably used these about 10 times and got better at it over time, so they do work comparatively well for the price.
Edit:
Downgraded my review from 3 to 2 stars. Lent these out to a friend and one of the shafts bent. To be fair, I am a bit surprised because I was using these with no problem on my Firebird struts. The person who bent them was working on a truck spring, which may have been too much for these.

 Definitely the right tool but... May 21, 2007
By r_rider
This kit includes two tools. It is possible to properly compress the spring with two tools but it is much easier with THREE tools (1.5 kits). With two, at for example the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions, one of the tools will always try to slip off to the 4 or 8 o'clock position. With three tools, it is very easily to compress the spring without the tool slipping.

 Spring compressor Jul 22, 2011
By Lee E. Jones
The spring compressor was just what I needed to change the struts on my wife's Aztek. It made the job very easy.
