Review on Powerbuilt 948019: A Must-Have 2 Piece Strut Spring Compressor Tool Set by Francisco Yim

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not worth the money

This kit is overpriced and designed horribly. This is lower quality than the $25 tube torch I used before. Brake lines will slip through the fork from day one no matter how tight it is (even using a lever wrench on the wing nuts to tighten them more). Even if I can start flaring on the line I will end up with a crooked flaring and there is nothing I can do to get a clean flaring. handle"crawled" only after a few cuts. I could keep using it but I have to hammer the handle back onto the shaft and be careful when cutting. The only really functional part of this kit is the pipe bender, although I would advise you to get another bender that allows for tighter bends, this requires a length of pipe much longer than the others to get the bend.

Pros
  • Will also fit many spring shocks
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
