Product Overview
Replacing a strut insert, top mount, bearing, or spring requires the coil load to be controlled before the center nut is removed. A matched pair of compressors grips opposite sides of the spring and shortens it evenly so the mount can be unloaded.
Coil springs store enough energy to cause fatal injury. This tool is not suitable for every spring shape, diameter, load, or suspension design, and worn threads, bent hooks, impact tools, or uneven placement can cause a sudden release.
Compare hook opening, threaded-rod length, spring diameter, coil spacing, working load, and vehicle procedure. If the tool cannot sit straight with full hook engagement, use a professional wall-mounted compressor or shop service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use an impact wrench? A: No. Use controlled hand tools unless the specific tool instructions explicitly allow otherwise.
Q: Does it fit every coil spring? A: No. Coil diameter, spacing, spring rate, and suspension design must be compatible.
Q: What if the hooks cannot sit straight? A: Stop. Use the correct spring compressor or have a properly equipped shop perform the work.
