Review on CARTMAN Macpherson Strut Spring Compressor by Chris Hamim

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I suspect they work better on car shelves than pickup truck racks.

The good news is they worked and probably will work again. The bad news is that they flex a little, and the good news is that they flex back after you release the pressure. I bought them for my Tundra but I suspect they really are better off than on a car. I'll probably need to get a heavier set for my 3/4 ton coil springs. They bent quite a bit during use, but when I replaced them and put new struts in, they bent again. After replacing both fronts, they are back in the case and look straight again. They did their job and that's all I can ask for, but I wish they had app data. I probably wouldn't have bought them and would have bought stronger ones if I knew that because all I have are trucks and the Tundra is my smallest.

Pros
  • Hanging tools
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
