1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time/money - poor design, July 17, 2010

Lisle makes very good tools in general, but this one really misses the mark. Drive length will only work for short springs up to 10" or so. Design looks and feels sturdy, but is mechanically flawed. The load bearing brackets cock (due to excessive screw to bracket eye clearance) under loading and will hit the side of the springs at the compression levels needed. The spring hooks are/look sturdy but will damage your spring coating under loading. Also, they do not tell you except in small print on the box that you cannot use this tool for new spring compression. This can be used only for compressing a partially compressed strut fitted spring. That is how they get away with the short drive length.

Look at the Craftsman 90500 from Sears instead. That worked well for me and the price is only marginally higher than the Lisle, and that comes with a Lifetime Warranty. This coil spring compression job is hazardous enough that you do not want to save a few bucks, and it is better to stick with the well known dependable brands.
