Review on OEM TOOLS 25551 Coil Spring Compressor: MacPherson Spring Installation and Removal, Ultra-Safe Design, Forged Hook and Safety Latches, Ensuring Vehicle and User Safety by Maurice Harvey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slowly but surely. Holds tools and equipment

This was the best spring compressor I have ever used. The seller poorly communicates that you cannot use percussion instruments on it - you yourself torment this work. The bolts/nuts are over 24mm long so I just used an adjustable wrench. It sounds terrible, but in practice it turned out to be simple and inspires confidence. It is also suitable for unusually shaped springs when other compressors are not suitable. When the springs are compressed, it creates the illusion that the bolts are bending. You are not. After the job was done, I checked them on the ruler and they didn't bend a hair. In addition, the device can be stowed away very compactly. money well spent.

Pros
  • Safety latches
Cons
  • Minor issues
