Review on πŸ”§ Alltrade 647089 Coil Spring Compressor for Struts by Stephen Russian

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly the right thing -Akura Integra 1990 strut springs

This is a compressor tool for compressing a light coil spring with a shock absorber inside. No other tool I've tried allows for a tight gap between the spring and damper. With the entire assembly removed from the vehicle and the lower fork firmly clamped in a vise, this tool easily and securely compresses the coil allowing the shock absorber to be removed and replaced. Do not be fooled; this is not for roller carts! LAUGH OUT LOUD. But it works like a champ on these little rice burners. I bet it would also be a great tool for a bike monoshock spring.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Crumpled
