This 2-pack set provides a reliable solution for safely compressing coil springs, offering a 1.2-ton capacity and high-strength, heat-treated steel construction for durability.

No, you must never use an impact wrench. This tool is designed exclusively for manual hand tools to ensure safety and prevent thread stripping.
The maximum compression stroke is 10.4 inches (265 mm).
It is designed for most small and medium-sized vehicles using MacPherson struts, but it is not intended for heavy-duty commercial truck springs.
The package includes a 2-pack set, providing the necessary tools to compress both sides of a strut simultaneously.
If you observe any thread deformation or damage, stop using the tool immediately and replace the affected unit to prevent catastrophic failure under pressure.
Ensure the threads are clean and lubricated; check that the compressor is not misaligned on the spring coil.
Adjust the positioning of the hooks so they are seated deeply into the spring channel and ensure the security pins are locked.
To set up the tool, ensure your workspace is clean and the vehicle is properly supported on jack stands. The compressors are compatible with any 22 mm socket or open-end wrench. When not in use, store the compressors in the provided box to protect them from moisture and dust. Periodically inspect the main threaded rods for any signs of thread deformation or metal fatigue. Keep the threads greased with a high-quality machine oil to prevent binding and ensure that the rust-resistant coating remains intact. Avoid dropping the tools on concrete as this can damage the threading or alignment of the hooks.
