2-Piece Coil Spring Compressor Tool, Max Load.2645LB | Heavy Duty Macpherson Strut Spring Compression Set, with Safety Jaws and Holder

Anyone with a Tundra or similar beefy springs installing Bilsteins THIS is the best tool for the money! WOW. I have used the cheap harbor freight style and was skeptical this was any better but it is AMAZING. Worth every penny. Made the install simple and works great. Solid, and i highly recommend it. I usually dont review anything i buy..but had to on this tool. It is that good. 2006 tundra dc now has bilstein 5100s thanks to this tool and a few hours work. Buy it.

These are good spring compressors. Used them on 2008 Sonata struts to replace the shock absorbers. Read the instructions and watch their YouTube video if you want a tutorial. A little grease on the threads wouldn't hurt but I skipped that and they worked fine. These will save you money as you only usually need to replace the shock portion of a strut anyway and as a bonus you can also avoid garbage quick struts. The oem springs, bumpers and mounts, etc are usually better quality that what a quick strut would supply and you save some money in the process. If you need new mounts just buy good ones when you order the shocks and install them when you swap over. I'll use these many times Im sure.

This spring compressor worked perfectly. If you need to change out strut cartridges on a heavy spring coil over like a Tundra or F150, this thing makes it quick and easy. I just installed Bilstein 5100's in my Tundra, and I can hardly believe how simple and quick it was with these. SO much better than the garbage ones you can rent at the auto parts store. No bending, nothing looked sketchy at all. I like the bar between them that keeps both in place and reduces the chance of a slip. I was blown away how easy this was compared to the "regular" spring compressors. Even if you only use these ONCE, you got your money's worth versus going to a shop.

There is always room for improvement in tools. The reason for the four stars is that the jaws need to have a non marring coating on them. This would increase the price however when installing newly powder coated springs you want something that will not mar the coating. The function of this tool is great, I was able to use a battery operated 3/8" drive ratchet to compress the springs with ease. Always be aware of what you are working on stay aware in using tools such as this. If you are uncomfortable in anyway in using a product of this nature seeking out professional to do the job. This is a dangerous job when compressing springs and can lead to serious injury if done incorrectly.

These spring compressor was actually really easy to use and worked really well. Felt a lot safer than the ones autozone/oreilly’s carry. 😅

I was initially skeptical that this coil spring compression tool could handle such a demanding task. I used it while installing an air bag coil spring assist kit on my 2012 F550 cab chassis, which has very large springs. After raising the front of the truck to take the weight off the wheels, I was able to compress the coil springs sufficiently to remove them from the chassis seat. The tool felt solid, safe, and was very easy to use.

Tool work great. Nice and compact.

Must have for truck springs. Very well built, heavy duty. Worked great to replace struts on 2014 Silverado. Fit perfectly. Much safer than the loaner tool from local big box stores. Fast shipping, comes in a nice case to keep everything organized. Definitely recommend.
