VEVOR Coil Spring Compressor Tool, 2 pcs Heavy Duty Macpherson Strut Spring Compressor Set, 2646 lbs Strut Spring Compressor with Safety Bracket and Carrying Case, for Car Truck ATV UTV

Worked great replacing shocks on a 2023 4Runner. Beefy compressor that felt safe using.

This kit is great. Works well. Easy to use.The only negative I would mention is that it lacks a tab to clamp into a vise, which would be useful for holding it while working with it.It is very awkward to use it by hand. But it is easy if you clamp it gently into a bench vise.

This Spring Compressor set makes the job of compressing suspension springs super easy. It safely secure the coil springs with different size coil adaptors. The robust compressor bolt is heavy duty, not likely to strip. 22mm impact socket and 1/2” impact gun quickly make the job done safely. Pay for itself after just one job instead of buying fully assembled struts or shocks.

Easy to use, and works well if you have a stut with a good number of coil spirals going round and round, like the rear struts on my 2004 Corolla. The problem is with struts like the front struts on the same Corolla. Those struts have the spring spiraling upwards only about 4 complete turns, so the yoke can only fit onto the two spring sections in the middle. This compressor will NOT work for that kind of spring. The yokes of different sizes fit perfectly onto the spring, but it needs to have a spring spiral section in between the two they are yoked to in order to work. When compressed to the maximum, it STILL isn't enough to disassemble the strut. I had to use the typical two-jackscrew compressors to get this spring compressed sufficiently. Also, this compressor must not be used with power or impact tools. It is not the kind of high-tensile strength metal to withstand that. Only use hand tools (22 mm or 7/8" socket/wrench). Additionally, you must lubricate the threaded rod each and every time you use it, even on each direction (compressing and then again for decompressing). I suggest spraying a penetrant lubricant like WD-40, then follow that with brush-on grease or spray-on lithium grease (easier than brushing). This is absolutely necessary. Ease of use and value are 5 stars. Sturdiness is 3 stars because impact tools can't be used. Versatility to be used with different kinds of springs is only 2-3 stars. Overall it's 4 stars because it does work well when it works. It also feels quite safe, unlike other compressors which are scary to use. I have included photo #1 of my rear strut, which this tool easily compressed, and photo #2 of my front strut which this tool can not sufficiently compress. See the difference in the springs to know if this tool will work for your application.

Work great

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

!!!!!!!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

This spring compressor makes the job so effortless!Extremely pleased that I bought it.
