Review on ๐Ÿ”ง 8milelake Cadmium Plated Suspension Coil Spring Compressor Repair Tools for Mercedes Benz: Efficient Maintenance Solution by Max Guerrero

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Hard tool but not polished

This product is very strong and heavy which is required for this type of work. Nice case that fits everything. Removing the spring on my Benz worked great, but only after I took the center shaft apart and filed and sanded it a bit to get it turning properly. The stem uses ACME/Sq threads and on my unit it would have stuck about 2/3 of the way, preventing the spring from fully compressing. Also, the trilobed tip had very rough cast edges that would not go through the holes in the spring plate without twisting them off a bit. After all that, I'll say it works great - but I'm disappointed I didn't make it "out of the box".

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Difficult to say
