Default Re: Coil spring compressor

Buy the best one you can get....no Taiwan specials!! I bought a professional grade one from my local Napa store....also don't ever use an impact wrench for compressing the spring...only a ratchet/breaker bar. The compressed spring is like holding a hand grenade you need to be careful. Some guys attach a small chain to the spring/frame for removal, in case it jumps out.

good luck...wilma
