A weekend lost Apr 02, 2011 By C. Johnston
Fail. Right out of the box. Manufacturing defect.

A spring compressor is for one thing only, and this one doesn't do it.

I ordered this overnight to complete a spring swap on a rare open weekend. Tool arrived this morning. I opened the box and immediately discovered that the jack screw simply does not thread into the clamp nut. I get about 3/4 of a turn and then it binds completely. The thread on the clamp nut looks like it was cut with a dull tap. I don't have a drawer full of metric acme taps, so this goes back into the box, back to Amazon, and the weekend is lost.

The rest of the tool looks acceptable, but that doesn't matter if the there isn't any clamping force.

I would expect this in a $40- version of the tool, but at $140-, the parts should at least thread together.

What a joke.

I'm not laughing, though.

Worked Well for Me Oct 26, 2011 By C. Brown
I know one of the previous reviewers had a negative experience with this tool however, I recently used the compressor to change out the front truts on an 04' VW Jetta. The tool allowed my to safely compressor the springs once I had them off the car and change out the strut. Since this was my first time using the tool it did seem a little awkward at first since the compressor arms pivot and move fairly independently. I had to adjust the arms several times when compressing the first spring to get enough spread so that I could compress and remove the tension. Once I had everything safely connnected I had no problems safely changing out everything. Again, this is just my experience with the tool.
