This Strut Spring Compressor is designed to compress most MacPherson strut spring sizes. The broad spring contact and built in detent pins help to lock the spring into place for safer spring compression. This tool quickly and safely compresses the spring for easy replacement of the strut cartridge or strut assembly repair. The hooks are forged and the center screw is hardened for long life. Note: Lubricate the threads of this tool with anti-seize compound to prolong the life of the center screw.

I only used one other strut spring compressor, before I used the OEM model. It was a single screw, twin armed unit from a store that specializes in inexpensive Chinese import tools. This unit jammed, and would not release tension on the compressed spring after the strut unit was replaced. After several hours attempting to free the jammed tool, I got a pair of these OEM strut spring compressors. The OEM spring compressors enabled me to compress the spring further, and get the other compressor off the spring. I used the OEM spring compressors to change 4 strut units without any complications. In fact, the OEM spring compressors made the job quite easy. The OEM safety pin detent holds the safety pin in place, and you don't have to worry about the safety pin moving while you are compressing or decompressing the spring. Keep an eye on them, just for your own safety, though. This was not the case with the other tool, by the way. Those safety pins would not stay in place. I like the OEM tool's wide contact area on the spring. It seems this would decrease the tendency for the spring compressor to move or slip as the spring is compressed. These spring compressors stayed in place while I was compressing the spring, and while I released tension on the spring.I highly recommend these OEM strut spring compressors; they work great, and the manufacturing quality seems very high.

Amazon Verified Purchase
For the low purchase cost of this product I had worries about how well they would be built and how they would last. When I opened the carton to examine I was surprised at how robust they were made and when we used them I had confidence in their holding/gripping ability. I felt safe in the use of them and with the other manufacuturers pair that I threw away I never really felt as safe. Do I recommend them for the home mechanic, you bet I do and I will buy another pair if and when they ever wear out.

This spring compressor did the job
I used this tool to replace the struts on my car and they worked flawlessly. They are pretty good quality and I never worried about my compressed spring somehow getting loose.

Good quality, safe product.
It's worth it to spend a little more on a set of quality spring compressors. If you've ever had a spring pop out of a cheaper spring compressor, you know that it's something you... Read more
