Very good tool , nice finishing

I've rented spring compressors from auto parts stores in the past, and always felt like I was taking my life into my hands. At any moment it could all explode. You can see the rods on those bending as you compress the spring. They almost feel disposable. Use them once or twice and they're done.Not this one. It's solid. It works nice and smooth, feels safe, doesn't bend out of shape as you compress, and while I never really figured out the correct way to use the lock ring thing that goes from one clamp to the other, I feel like the way I had it on there it provided a little more protection...Anyway while this is still a job you need to be very careful about, it's far safer with a tool like this than it is with the cheaper versions, and the cheap rental versions.

This tool was very easy to use and did the job wonderfully! Heavy duty and really like the extra bar/plate to keep the individual units from walking down the spring. Great value!!

Solid compressors with one exception: the pins holding the top on. As I began to tighten down the springs on my SxS (250lb Eibach springs, nothing crazy) the pin sheared on one of the top hooks and hit me in the safety goggles. Hear that? Yes, I was wearing some Milwaukee safety goggles and they literally saved my eyesight, possibly my life.Ultimately, the sheared pin may have partially been my mistake. I’m not 100% sure of it but it may have been bottomed out which probably put a lot of tension on that pin? Should the pin have sheared so easily? Probably not. I was using a 1/2” ratchet by hand and it was low effort to turn the screw, maybe if I had been using an impact or something I could see overdoing it but I couldn’t fit any of my power tools in there.Overall though? After sliding a grade 10.9 M8 (maybe M6) shoulder bolt in there I was good to go and they worked wonderfully. The threads did get a bit marred from the unthreaded safety jaw for the lower coil and that made them a bit difficult to put back in the case. Cleaned up the threads with a file and they’ll be good to go for the next time. Be sure to mess around with the height adjustment before getting serious and it will make the job go a lot more smoothly.Taking off 1 star for the violent attack of the pin and the marred threads. At this price point though I would say it’s a good value.
