I used it to compress the front springs on a 2013 RAM 1500 and it worked well. Highly recommend this kit over the cheap compressors that are of questionable safety. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***Y on 10 July 2020* I used the item several times without the yellow covers and it worked great. The covers just got in the way. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***S on 7 July 2019* I've used many spring compressors over the years, including the older kind with a pair of separate long spindles with a small clamp on both ends that you put on each side of a spring to squeeze it, as well as a very nice looking large single clamp style one that I rented from autozone (similar to these) that worked ok, but bent when I used it. I got this one because it looked a lot like the kind sold on european car part websites for $250+, but was much more affordable and got good reviews. I used it yesterday to compress the front strut-spring assemblies on my 2011 BMW X5, for which the springs are almost conical in shape (wider at the top, narrower at the bottom), and it worked really well. I had tried using the paired spindle style compressor on these springs before, and they would bend and couldn't squeeze the spring enough to loosen it off of the strut. But this unit worked like a charm! I ended up using the mid-sized clamps for this particularly application, and it's nice to know the larger and smaller clamps are there for me to use on my sports coupe and on my truck as well. I give this a 5 star rating. However, I would highly recommend (as a few other reviewers have) that you grease up the spindle drive screw with some heavy duty synthetic grease before you use it - it ships with a light coat of oil, which is great to keep it from rusting, but just not enough to lube it for real use. I also lubed the outer portion of the shaft that the lower clamp slides along using some 3-in-1 oil, as it bound up a little bit when releasing it (when backing it off it would hang a bit and then pop a millimeter or two). Great product! Does a great job, and is a real sturdy and well put together piece of hardware. ## Frequently Bought Together - 8MILELAKE Macpherson Strut Spring Compressor Kit Interchangeable Fork Coil Extractor Tool Set - ATLIN Strut Spreader Tool – Strut Socket for Audi, VW, BMW, MINI, Ford - BILITOOLS Universal Suspension Strut Spreader Tool Knuckle Spreader Hub Steering Spindle Spreader 5.0 – 10.5 mm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/320174813-8milelake-macpherson-strut-spring-compressor-interchangeable-fork-coil-extractor-set](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/320174813-8milelake-macpherson-strut-spring-compressor-interchangeable-fork-coil-extractor-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
