User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on a 1969 Ford Mustang
Answer:	I don't see why it wouldn't I used it on my 13 f150
Question:	Will these work on a 2005 dodge stratus 4 door sedan
Answer:	I' can't say for sure but I would see no reason why they would not. The coil springs on the Sedona van were good size and these compressors had no problem doing the job. They have a hex shaped end for a wrench or socket to adjust them with. But if the strut is too close to the tool to get a socket on they also allow a 1/2 drive extension to be inserted into the end for adjustment. This is the method I used and preferred.
Question:	Where is this made in
Answer:	Made in China, but they work fine. One thing when using these or this type of compressor is that you only need to compress spring just enough to make the top hat loose then you can loosen the hat nut. Most people compress way too much when it is not needed.
Question:	Does anyone know what size socket is needed to clamp these down? I plan on using an air gun, just need to make sure I have the right size socket
Answer:	My set takes a 21mm socket or a 13/16" socket (fits very snug). However, the hex end has a female socket for a 1/2" drive. So a 1/2" ratchet with an extension would work as well. I would be careful using an air tool instead of a wrench or ratchet. You may get one side a head of the other. It actually does not take much to compress the springs. Be sure to lubricate the threads before starting. My set came lubricated but I added anti-seize to be sure.

Spring Compressor Tool

• 🚗 If you're fixing your vehicle's suspension, one essential tool is a strut spring compressor. It aids in reducing the size of your springs so they are easier to remove. You need to find a tool that is sturdy, durable, and won't compromise your safety because handling springs can be dangerous. Handor Coil Spring Compressor Tool is the best spring compressors that will help you complete the job carefully and efficiently.
• 🚗 Handor strut and coil compressor sets are perfect for removing and installing coil springs. It has a wide jaw capacity of 23-280 mm and works on a variety of vehicles, including trucks and large sedans. Each pair has a weight capacity of over 2,206 pounds. The tool includes lower security jaws and adjustable safety bars and can be used with a 19 mm hex socket or wrench, , assisting the mechanic with years of compression jobs.
• 🚗 The compressor is rugged and durable, so it resists bending or warping under high tension. The hex nuts are easy to turn, so they can better grip the springs. The tool requires very little effort to use, and the jaws securely grab onto the spring. The design also allows you to have something to hold onto while you're doing the job, which is very convenient. This compressor comes in a carrying case, which is a big plus.
• 🚗 This tool easily removes strut springs and is designed for both professional and garage mechanics. Its forged hooks and center screw are strong, long lasting, and built to withstand extreme pressure. This heavy-duty compressor does not slip or slide and works as advertised.

This static energy can spell disaster if you don’t use a spring compressor to control the springs’ decompression. Performing your own automotive repairs can save you a lot of money. Buying a new tool and employing it is often the cheaper option over taking your car to a repair shop!

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the pin for? Do you lock it in before or after you compress the spring
Answer:	The pin is for securing the hook to the coil spring. I would lock it before you compress because you need all the protection and safety measures you can get. Spring compression is a dangerous game to play. This tool is good for compact or maybe a mid size vehicle. BTW I have a cargo van characterized as a light truck and with the thicker guage coil springs. These spring compressors were awful and inept. Unsuitable for my van. They may work beautiful for your car though depending on what you got
Question:	Will these work with 620 lb coils
Answer:	Very universal tool ,should be fine.
Question:	Will this work on a full size bronco? same springs as a ford f-150 from
Answer:	I've used these on a Nissan titan and a Subaru crosstrek. They're pretty universal.
Question:	What is the distance between the top and bottom hooks when fully extended
Answer:	From inside hook to hook, 10 inches max safely, 10.5 inches with only about half the threads into the top hook.
