"Game Changer for Suspension Work

The Powerbuilt heavy spring compressor is an absolute game-changer for anyone doing suspension work. Through trial and error, i found that this compressor is incredibly sturdy and easy to use, making the typically dangerous job of compressing heavy springs much safer and more manageable. The design is simple yet effective, and the quality is top-notch. The only downside is the relatively high price point, but the safety and ease-of-use features make it worth the investment. Overall a must-have…

Pros
  • Efficiently compresses heavy-duty springs
Cons
  • Requires significant physical effort to use

Not enough for a light truck

I bought this to replace coiled shocks on a Yukon (1/2 ton) and the bolts were bent before the spring even moved. I studied them carefully. Hoping to find something in that style that fits the bill, someone said they used it on a Ford truck, so I hoped it wasn't bones. I had to ask the dealer to compress them and replace the shocks. I am convinced that to service this type of spring you only need a compressor for a few hundred dollars, which is not available for DIY. I'm sure it will work great

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Scarce manual
