VEVOR Strut Spring Compressor Set, Macpherson Strut Spring Compressor Kit, Interchangeable Fork Strut Coil Extractor Remover Tool, with Yellow Protective Sleeve and Carrying Case

used the VEVOR Coil Spring Compressor Tool on my 2018 BMW X3, and honestly it worked great. The tool feels solid and heavy-duty, and it held the springs really well. Super easy and safe to use, no issues at all. The case it comes with is also nice and keeps everything organized. Overall,

This tool saved me a couple of thousands dollars. I was able safely to use it and make my car repairs/upgrade without being ripped off at the dealership repair shop! Great tool, recommend for purchase for DIY projects on your car.

A very excellent tool, complete. Very safe to use, iI never felt in danger, the spring C clamps have plastic shield if needed. I removed them because there was interference on my shock shaft cover. There is a keeper tab on each C clamp that provides a "catch" so the compressed spring cannot get over that lip. The spring compressor worked smoothly. I took the pre-emptive precaution of spraying the compressor threaded rod with lithium lubricant, as well as spraying into the shaft ends so everything worked as smoothly as possible. I did NOT use a impact wrench! I used a 1/2 inch drive with a socket. By hand it does not take much time to compress a spring an inch so the shock can be disassembled. I still have to do the front end of my SUV, the rears are complete and would not have been possible for me to do without a spring compressor. This save my $1000's of dollars to do the work myself.

I used it on a 4x4 tundra, and it worked like a charm. It's heavier duty than I expected, and I never felt either spring move. It was difficult to compress the last bit, but a breaker bar would've made it easy.

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.

I used these to replace the top hats on my Tein coilovers. Coilovers are slightly different than traditional suspensions in terns of tension and gaps between the spring spirals. But regardless, this tool made it very safe and easy. For the price, I think it's totally worth it. Saved a trip to a shop and now I know I can put together my future suspension setup. It's the best to secure the strut with a foot on the ground and use a wrench to slowly get the claws to compress. Definitely wear eye protection, don't stand on either end of the strut, and get it done as fast as possible. The only issue I ran into was due to the tight spacing of my spring. The claws got stuck and became hard to remove the tool after the work was done on the assembly.

This tool has one fatal flaw. The spring pads or brackets or whatever you'd like to call them have a slight pitch to match that of the coil spring. This works great on coils that are wound the correct corresponding direction but makes doing the opposite side spring where the spring is wound the opposite direction more difficult than it needs to be. The brackets should either have no pitch or it should come with brackets that pitch both directions.

I've been highly skeptical of Vevor products, so it's important to clarify that I'm not a fan of cheap tools that break after a use or two. That said, I was surprised to find that this spring compressor feels like a quality tool. I was particularly concerned with whether it could handle a larger SUV, specifically a Ford Expedition. This compressor proved to be more than capable. Using an impact wrench significantly sped up the process; I wasn't about to do this by hand. It managed both the front and rear springs without any issues, as evidenced by the attached photo of the front spring. One of the main advantages I found was the ability to compress the spring while it was still mounted on the vehicle. This effectively shortened the strut, making it easier to remove. While I was cautious and used a smaller compressor to brace the other side of the spring when it was off the car, I found that this Vevor/MacPherson unit could handle everything effectively on its own. If you're undecided about purchasing this tool, I encourage you to take the leap. It's proven itself to be an excellent addition to my toolkit, and I wish I had bought it much sooner.

Ce compresseur de ressort est très pratique , robuste et très sécurisé avec sa lame anti écartement qui empêche le décrochage du compresseur. Nickel 😉

Los he usado para cambiar los amortiguadores delanteros (Mitsubishi Outlander 2014.5 / MacPherson). El primero ha costado un poco hasta que ajustas bien la herramienta etc. El segundo se ha cambiado muy rápido. Importante: Si se está haciendo mucha fuerza para apretar, es que se está haciendo algo mal. Esto puede suceder si el compresor (antes de apretar) ya se encuentra bastante colapsado, nos ha sucedido esto y a los pocos giros se ponía duro. Hay que tratar de que el perno principal esté lo mas extendido que sea posible y para esto se pueden ajustar el resto de los ajustes (especialmente en amortiguadores que son mas anchos y más cortos). En resumen, si se está montando bien, el compresor fluye con muy poca resistencia.

Ottimo attrezzo,facile da usare ed anche sicuro alla compressione della molla,al top

Parfait pour démonter des amortisseurs en compressant les ressorts. Utiliser plusieurs fois, cela me semble bien plus sûr que les crochets bas de gamme. Le produit est solide et fait parfaitement l'affaire 👍👍

Used it on the front springs of a Volvo S60. Didn't bend at all and worked very well. Highly recommend.
