Great tool !
this tool creates dents and scratches the coil. It is very hard to be used to install a new spring. Look at the end between the spring and the tool.
Used this to change struts on my car and 1- the tool does not grip the springs and scratches them and 2- does not compress evenly leaving the spring at an angle.
Would recommend another method.
The 4,000 lb rating on this tool is a joke. Using it to compress truck springs rated at 550lb/in for a distance of three inches bent this tool like it was made out of pot metal.
It's probably fine for passenger car springs, but for springs off a full size light duty truck or SUV, it's 30 pounds of junk.
I can attest that it is not fine for passenger car springs
