Well made, however I couldn't safely re-assemble my OEM BMW 135i m-sport suspension struts and springs using this tool due to clearance on the strut and the amount of compression required on the spring. I had to take to a shop and have them do it. Nothing wrong with the compressors though. Lube the threads with motor oil, don't use an impact, take your time, BE CAREFUL, suspension springs can kill you.

Used to replace strut springs on a 335i. Struggles with the shorter springs, you’ll definitely want some light oil on the threads when cranking them down, and be mindful of where the jaws sit when trying to reassemble. For the occasional use, these are hard to beat.

Friendly tool to use for the coilspring!

These are much better than the old ones I have that require using a wrench. I was done in minutes using an impact on these spring compressors.

Works as designed. Saved me time and money versus paying others to do it. Suggestion is to rent a air impact wrench to tighten the bolts.

Well built, positive safety catches work well. Performs as advertised.

I like this kit. Worked just fine. Be sure to read the instructions and lubricate the threads!

Works well for simple tool
Used it to replace the struts on my 2001 BMW 740iL. Worked well, but you should use an air gun to run it tight. Otherwise it might be a little slow. Don't forget to oil the threads, too. Very happy and great tool for the price.

Worked as you would expect. Safety pins are appreciated.
