Shipped fast. They fit my springs. Easy to store away. Thick. Installation was a breeze. Value for the low.

Was going to rent one out at my local auto part store but they never seem to have it in stock. Saw this and for the price seemed fair. Worked perfectly when I was changing the struts on my 04 tsx. Easy to use and very durable. Had to issue when I was using my Milwaukee stubby. Fast and efficient and now get to keep the tool will come in handy down the road

I used this on a 2007 tundra, worked ok. I used them to compress the spring on the truck so I could remove without separation of the lower ball joint.

I am extremely satisfied with this product! I've used it more than two dozen times already and each time, it has held strong; the retaining pins did not budge or slip.However, it might not work on thicker coil springs. For my Ford Bronco, I had to take a small snippet off the end of each of the retaining pins so that they would fit; once I press the pins in, I would then turn the pins 180 degrees to lock the springs in (DISCLAIMER: do NOT try modifying spring compressors on your own if you have no prior experience working with them before. This is an excellent tool, but it can also VERY dangerous if used improperly)

It is easier to attach to the coil if you unthread the tool completely, place the metal blocks onto the coil, then rethread the threaded rod back into the blocks that are already placed on the coil. I would not have been able to use this tool if I had not disassembled it first.

The job is complete!! This is a well made tool and I was able to perform the task easily. It is high quality material and the tool weighs more that it looks because of the density of the metal. I use this on a Toyota 4runner, but I think the tool is made for car springs. The spring diameter is a little too large to get the safety pins over the spring. I compressed the springs minimally, only enough to get the shock out, but even with that, the bolts were bowing from the pressure, which was very interesting to see. Even with the bowing bolts, there was no binding when tightening and loosening the threads and it did not feel as if I was taxing the tool too much. Next will be the Honda...

I sucessfully swapped out the front struts on a 05 Honda Pilot using two sets of these spring compressors. I originally bought only one set off of Amazon, but quickly found out that a second set was needed to compress these larger size SUV springs. So I went down to Autozone and rented a second set. Be aware the safety pins do not fit over these large SUV springs. The large diameter shield at the bottom of the Pilot OEM strut also prevents you from getting an impact or socket on the adjustment nut, so I spent about an hour manually cranking down the compressors for each spring. Also, remember to keep the threads lubricated or you will get some binding. In the end, I never observed any bowing of the spring compressors and they allowed me to complete the job in a safe but time consuming manner.P.S.In hindsight, I should have paid Tire Discounters the $90 they wanted to swap out both struts. I would have still had to install the finished strut assemblies, but wouldn't have had to deal with the lost hours cranking on these compressors.

Good design and well made tool. Used to compress KIA strut springs without any problems. OEMTOOLS makes pretty good tools from my experience.

Took some fidgeting to get them mounted. Due to the shape of the shock tower hat I couldn't attach the compressors at the very ends of the springs but it wasn't an issue to get enough compression.Overall the product worked great in my application.I like the safety pins, which was the main reason I bought this particular one. The safety pins add a little frustration as they are loose fitting and can get in the way of mounting. One of the pins didn't have good clearance so required a pretty hard push to get it set, and a hammer to tap it out when the job was done.The safety pins did work while in place making the compressors more stable.If you've never used a spring compressor before the idea is to mount each one as close as possible to opposite sides and matching coils, and as close to the ends as possible, but that doesn't work out exactly on all strut/ spring configurations. My set up was a good test for how they adapt to an awkward set up. It was awkward, but worked.If it's close enough it will be ok.Gradually add compression to each side back and fourth until the spring assembly becomes unseated top and bottom (if it's unseated on one, it will be unseated on the other, but best to double check and ensure a good safety margin.) You can check when it's about to be unseated by trying to wiggle the shock tower hat. When you're close to enough compression it will start to develop play.. but make sure you don't attempt shock removal at this point as the spring still has considerable force applied. Always wait until the springs are clearly unseated before removing shock. Half a finger width or so of being unseated is enough.I turned mine manually about 4-5 half turns each back and fourth. I would have used my impact on *low speed* using the same sequence but didn't have the necessary access to the bolt heads as I had to mount the compressors inverted to get them to fit. Using an impact here can end your day instantly with injury or death if you're trigger happy with it.I don't know how many times these can be used so I didn't rate durability, or if they can handle the stress of a large truck spring but they were fine for a compact SUV.I would buy again or recommend to a friend if needed for a similar job.

Almost bought one of the many options of cheaper spring compressors but I'm glad I went the bit extra and got these. They're very well built and easy to use. Flawless performance and work with my impact driver to make quick work of compressing springs. Most importantly I trust this a lot more than the cheaper options. Spring tension is no joke.

Einwandfreie Verarbeitung, die Sicherungsstifte verhindern ein rausspringen der Feder. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen. Spindel sollte man etwas fetten.
