Review on 🔧 OEMTOOLS 27035 Black Coil Spring Compressor, Strut Spring Compressor Tool, ATV Spring Compressor, Coil Tools by Kaveen Reyes

1st Revain star for shipping this item to me within 12 hours of purchase and delivered by the end of the 3rd day. Did I mention I live in Hawaii? 2nd star for seemingly decent quality steel used in the manufacture of this tool. I've previously had threaded shank tools that wouldn't hold the first time. 3rd star for the cast body. 4. Star for offset hooks. No 5th star because of the "fork". I bought this tool on purpose, thinking a fork would make the job easier. it's not like this. Trying to position the spring compression tool with a fork is nearly impossible. This is a 4 hand job. The fork curve doesn't come close to spring geometry like offset hooks do. I read other reviews about how easy this tool is. Maybe it's because I used it on a 1989 Chevy S10 that had stiff suspension. However, if you are using a fork, make sure it is positioned so that it does not come into contact with the control levers. Otherwise, you will release tension and start over. In addition, the fork is not fixed on the spring, which poses a risk because the fork will "unwrap" on the spring. it did it to me. Also, if you lower the compressed spring too far onto the table/floor, it will spring back. Pretty scary when pieces of steel jump half a meter away from your face. I ended up not using a fork. Instead, I routed the threaded shaft through the shock hole in the frame. put the pen in his pocket. Set the hooks, then turn the bolt under the hood. This method uses a frame and hooks to compress the spring. The spring stays in place with this unbeatable method and all you have to do is lift your forearm. This tool may work better with larger diameter springs from larger trucks and cars. I do not know.
