About the ABN Coil Spring Compressor
Use the ABN | Coil Compressor Tool to help you install coil springs and coil spring spacers. This car spring compressor tool compresses conventional coil springs for replacement or removal from suspension.
*Instruction manual not included with package.
(Read full operation instructions below.)
HOW TO USE
STEP 1
Remove the shock absorber and other hardware as required, then with the screw shaft centered, engage the hooks on a coil toward the top of the spring.
STEP 2
With the screw shaft threads fully engaged in the compressor body, insert the fork through the lowest coil possible so it straddles the screw shaft and sits evenly on the coil. Ensure that the compressor washers sit in the recessed area of the fork, then twist the fork around the coil of the spring as necessary to adjust.
STEP 3
Compress the spring by slowly tightening the screw shaft clockwise while ensuring the hooks do not turn on the spring.
TIPS
- Do not over-compress a coil spring (the coils should never touch).
- Do not continue to compress the spring once the compressor reaches its travel limit.

I liked the solid base bottom instead of hooks at both ends. Made it easier to pull coil springs out of an A body GM front end.

Not a bad too for the money! I’ve seen the same design under other names but for double the cost. Literally these are the same with a different sticker on the case! They are all other overseas built but not super cheap like my local auto parts store rents out. Better then some other designs out there. The upper horse shoe type mount is easier to install bs the hooks when it’s all crammed in the spring. I did need to modify it a bit to get it to work for my intended use. I used this for a 68 cougar/mustang and the center bolt was too long and required cutting about an inch off other wise it would hit the lower spring mount and not allow the tool to compress the spring enough. It’s important to note I have 1†lower springs as well so this may or may not be a concern on stock springs.To those negative comments about no instructions. If you need instructions for these spring compressors you may not want want to use them until you have a little more experience under your belt. A compressed spring is no joke and you need to have some mechanical ability and common sense or you will get yourself hurt. Instructions or not.

These were small enough to change out the stock spindles on my Monza to S10 ones. You just have to find the right spot to get them between the spring

This worked like a charm to install front factory springs into a 2004 mustang GT. To remove the springs simply disconnect everything from the front end and let the jack down to drop the old springs out. This tool is installed into the new spring on the ground and installed to the car. This tool is easy to disassemble and remove when the spring is installed into the car.

Used to remove front end coil springs on a 1976 Corvette. I love the tool & would not remove a coil spring without it! It appears well made & I can't image getting hurt by a "missile" coil spring when using it properly.Getting the "hooks" in and out of the coil spring through the bottom hole of the chassis took a bit of figuring out but once you figure it out, it's not that bad; take your time. Stick the large hook in first; once you have both hooks in the spring stretched straight up and down, maneuver the large hook between the coils while at the same time rotating the small hook up so that both hooks can be "hooked" on the coils. Once you have both hooked on coils, insert the screw jack into the block of the hooks. With it "hanging" you can rotate the hooks higher up into the coil giving you more room at the bottom to insert the "fork" at the bottom of the screw jack. Remove in reverse order; remove screw and get the smaller hook pointed down to remove the hooks "stretched out" straight through the bottom chassis opening just as you inserted them.Beyond that, when I ordered it as being "New", there was no indication it was "out of stock"; learned that when I got the order confirmation/update; it ended up taking awhile to arrive, I think about 2 weeks. While bit frustrating, after using it, it was worth waiting for in my opinion as I think it's a better concept than many other I looked at.The only other thing is it was advertised as "New", it was not. It was used (considerably) as evidenced by the tool markings and "rub" marks where wrench/socket had been used and coil springs had contacted the various tool surfaces. It was covered in black grim from being used. Also, must have been used in the yard as the carrying case had dead grass clippings and dirt in it. Be that as it may, as a private individual, I probably will never need it again so regardless, it was worth every dime I paid for it as I have heard horror stories over the years about spring "taking off" resulting in sever injury to bodies and heads.Again, don't even attempt to remove a coil spring without one of these; you may get away with it time and time again but eventually.....it's going to bit you!!!!!!That said, I would buy the tool again!Al O.

I have used a lot of spring compressors and this is the best and easiest one ever. it will draw the spring up evenly and with little effort from your wrench

I’m not saying it’s a bad product, but I wish I had just saved my money and let a garage do it. I had to cut the shaft shorter to get it to fit for what I was doing, and then it still wasn’t enough.

It does work but very clumsy to set in place
