- What this tool does and why you need it - Compresses coil/spiral springs safely and reliably to allow removal or installation without damaging the spring or surrounding components. - Reduces risk and effort compared with improvised methods, making suspension work faster and safer for both DIYers and professionals. - Key benefits - Safe operation: compress the spring fully before loosening or tightening any mounting hardware; the tool holds stored energy securely while you work. - Versatile fit: five adapters cover a range of spring diameters so the set fits most applications. - Durable and reliable: heavy-duty steel construction with an oxide coating resists rust and corrosion for long service life. - Easy handling: smooth-surfaced parts maintain stable contact under high compression and reduce binding. - Organized storage: all 10 parts are packed and sorted in a compact box for convenient storage and transport. - Main features and specifications - Function: Spiral spring compressor for compressing and decompressing coil springs during removal and installation. - Adapters: 5 different-size adapters included to suit various spring diameters. - Components: 10 pieces in total, supplied sorted in a storage box. - Material and finish: robust steel construction with an oxide coating to resist rust and corrosion. - Surface: smooth finish on each part to ensure reliable use under high compression. - Compatibility note: adapters are designed to fit a variety of spring diameters and are suitable for most cylinder heads and suspension strut assemblies. - How to use (safe, step-by-step) 1. Close the compressor until it contacts the center rod and position the adapter(s) into the spiral spring. 2. Compress the spring enough to allow safe removal or installation of the spring or related components. 3. Only release the compression after the spring is correctly positioned for installation and all mounting hardware is secured. 4. Always handle slowly and with care — compression springs contain significant stored energy and must be treated carefully. - Practical use scenarios - Replacing worn coil springs during suspension maintenance on passenger vehicles. - Servicing or rebuilding strut assemblies in a home garage or professional workshop. - Performing spring swaps or upgrades where accurate, secure compression is required before disassembly or reassembly. - Safety reminder - Compression springs store significant energy. Always follow the step-by-step procedure, wear appropriate eye and hand protection, and keep bystanders clear while compressing or releasing springs. This set provides a compact, durable solution for compressing spiral/coil springs with multiple adapters for broad compatibility and a storage box for organized transport and storage.
