VEVOR Strut Spring Compressor Set, Macpherson Strut Spring Compressor Kit, Interchangeable Fork Strut Coil Extractor Remover Tool, with Yellow Protective Sleeve and Carrying Case

Awesome tool to have, has held up great for over a year so far!

Works great! Much safer than the old school spring compressors (2 separate clamps). Paid for itself after the first job. I used it on the front and rear struts of a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S using the smallest spring holders

This spring compressor was the greatest investment.Works very well, saves a ton of time.Highly recommend having one in your auto shop.

I haven’t use this yet but the items are solid

I replaced 2 sets of struts without a hiccup! Used the stabilizer to keep them from rotating. I feel they will last a long time too.

!!!!!!!THIS IS ONLY FOR RIGHT HAND OR CLOCKWISE WOUND SPRINGS!!!!!!! LOOK AT THE SPRING TOP OR BOTTOM AND LOOK HOW THE SPRING COILS, ONLY CLOCKWISE ROTATION) LOOK IT UP!!!!! DOES NOT FIT LEFT HAND WOUND SPRINGS !!!!!! WILL NOT WORK ON COUNTER CLOCKWIES WOUND SPRINGS!!!!!!!! LEXUS HAS LEFT AND RIGHT HAND WOUND SPRINGS!!!!!!!!! THIS KIT WILL ONLY DO ONE SPRING

With all the talk of danger, I ended up finding this spring compressor less scary than I expected. In my opinion, for a careful person not in a hurry, this can be used quite safely.Shopping for a spring compressor, there seemed to be either the $1500 shop version by Branick, or about 3 different options for a DIY version, each marketed under a dozen brands with minimal cosmetic differences.I got this one because I liked the extra curved cross-brace thinking it might limit the ways in which the spring could fly out of the compressor.I successfully swapped out two Honda OEM struts for KYB, keeping the OEM springs and mounts (cleaned and lubricated).My learnings:1️⃣ Read the instructions.2️⃣ Lubricate the threads.3️⃣ Span as much of the spring as you can. With the compressor across only 4 coils of the spring I was unable to loosen it from the strut. 5 worked.4️⃣ If possible, position the compressor across the spring such that the cross brace is outside the coil diameter. Otherwise trying to keep it away from the coils adds difficulty.5️⃣ Tighten and loosen the compressor by hand.

This tool is very substantial and is easy to use to compress springs. A great value for the money.
