ORXPLUS Tools Motorcycle Spring Compressor Review

This is perfect for quad and mini truck springs, I've used them a few times with no problems. I doubt they will work in every passenger car, but they do an excellent job of what they were designed for.

This thing is dangerous. It has plastic lugs that touch the spring and slide as you tighten it. It's like holding a hand grenade. Spend more and get a triangular compressor like Chopper.

Worked great to remove the spring from my cb500x traction damper. Quality is good, definitely a viable tool for smaller coil springs. Before use, it is advisable to apply a small amount of lubricant to the threads.

Be careful. It did the job but took a few tries due to slippage. If you are not careful, you can easily injure yourself. I didn't have much confidence in it when I looked at the product but it surprised me. I used it on a 1200 lb motorcycle rear spring.

Needed to compress the front springs on my 2010 Can Am Spyder RT. There was no room for automotive-style spring compressors. This tool worked great for my purpose. Very glad I bought it. The plastic jaws made me nervous at first, but I had no problems.

Bought and used to replace the springs on a BMW K1200LT. Very heavy bike, individual shock absorbers front and rear. They failed behind; For security reasons I took it to the store and installed it. They did a GREAT job on the front shock; Once on the bench I had the springs changed in less than 10 minutes. Very good for what they are.

Bought these to replace old rusty springs on an old Suzuki GS750. It took me about 10 minutes to swap out the springs. I agree with some of the previous reviews about putting a little lube on the threads in the past. smooth it out I used an impact wrench and a 3/8 inch extension. Worked great. As with all spring compressors, do not compress the spring unevenly, just a little on each side, just enough to remove the stop plates etc, and most importantly, DO NOT place your fingers where they could
