Review on Heavy Duty 280mm Spring Compressor by 8Milelake by Joe Fulce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This tool works! What a great price!

I ordered this tool after trying other spring compressors that didn't do the job or didn't seem safe to use. I used this tool to install a Bilstein 5100 on the front of my 2013 F150 STX 4x4. It compresses the stock springs with no problem, also compresses the new Moog 81118 coil springs with no problem (but can tell the new springs were stiffer, see pic). I have never felt unsafe with this tool. I used a wireless punch with the tool, it worked fine, I don't think I'll be using a strong air punch with it (you don't need to either). What a great price!

Pros
  • No additional systematic insertion/removal of the jaws required.
Cons
  • Some difficulties
