The recommended compressors cost a great deal more than these, so they were worth it in my mind. They did a very good holding the springs security while I worked, but were a bit more work than the recommended type.Build quality is very good and they come with a nice storage case.I recommend lubing the bolt and washer at the top of the compressor as well as the threads with some lithium grease since you're going to be working with some pretty big forces.I used an electric impact driver to spin the bolts since it takes a LOT of turns to compress and uncompress the springs as you work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars They got the job done. *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016* I got this as part of my first experiment with doing suspension work on my car. I could get all of the parts and tools I needed for less than what an mechanic would charge me. I don't like to skimp on tools, so the significant number of negative reviews on less expensive spring compressors from HF and also on Amazon warned me off from them. This set seemed like a good compromise- a bit more expensive but mostly good reviews and should last through more than one use.They arrived in a nice case. The only problem with the case is the spot for the compressors is molded into it, so you need to spend time getting the hook to the right position for them to fit.Using the compressors was a little more difficult than I expected. Finding a way to fit them opposite each other on my Honda Element strut proved a little difficult. There weren't enough turns in the spring to position them perfectly, so I went with the best I could do, which worked but was a little awkward. Part of the strut tower or spring was in the way of the bolt head so I couldn't get a socket/impact wrench on it. I had to turn them with a box wrench. It works, but it takes a bit of time to get all the turns in.There were no problems with the quality of the parts. They feel beefy and operate smoothly. I have since used them on a second project without issue. If you are looking for a value, I can recommend these. If I had the money and were doing a lot of spring compressing, I would want to try out a clamshell style tool for ease of use. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Decent works on some models but not all. *by L***P on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014* Low price, nothing fancy as far as quality. You get what you paid for. These would not work on the front struts of my 08 Subaru Outback - the struts have very few turns and these 2 were not able to do it. This vehicle and others just cannot be done easily by the home mechanic - you will need a more substantial wall mounted multi grab point design. This tool would do the rears and were able to do the front struts on my Caravan. --- ## 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/4574967-advanced-tool-design-model-atd-3054-macpherson-strut-spring-hook](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4574967-advanced-tool-design-model-atd-3054-macpherson-strut-spring-hook) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
