Review on Lisle 62300 MacPherson Strut Tool: The Ultimate Solution for Effortless Strut Repairs in Sleek Black by Maurice Arnold

It did its job perfectly and I highly recommend this tool. LUBRICATE LOTS of threads before use. It's very well done. The design makes it MUCH safer than single pin spring compressors. I would NOT approach them because the sources are extremely dangerous. However, to be honest you may want to purchase the entire strut/spring assembly (quick strut) if quality is available, especially on a very high mileage car, as all the other components are bound to wear out quite a bit and you won't until you do take the old strut apart, you won't notice that eg the bearing at the top is completely chewed up. At least be prepared for the possibility.
