Here is a thought. Actually use the tool before reviewing it. Total waste of time.

I bought The ABN version of this tool and it worked just fine. No problems doing the front shocks on a 2020 F150. No bending, no struggle, or visable damage to the tool. It almost made me feel safe doing it. 😅

I have this compressor and used it to replace the strut on my Volvo S60. Worked as advertised and was quite effective. As with any spring compressor, use caution and go slow but this tool works.

i have seen a similar product on amazon and was wary of it, after seeing this i have more confidence in it now. thanks

I purchased this to swap out the front magneride shocks on my GMC Sierra. Dealer wanted $2300 dollars to do it. Purchased the shocks from Rock Auto for $800 and bought this tool off Amazon for $69. Took about three hours and job was done. Tool took all the fear out of compressing the coiled springs. No flexing whatsoever.

In the UK, on Amazon, an exact copy of this is on sale for £40. I've currently got the same ones as you and every time I use them I add ratchet straps as a back up because they always look as though they are hanging on for dear life....

Just a comment - you say at the start that you don't really know how it works yet. How can you have such a good opinion about the product when you don't know how it works?

By seeing how it is built compared to the other types.

Do you still like it? I saw a review where it was called crap because the only thing keeping it from coming apart is a snap ring on one end. Family owned business?? Maybe the seller, but those are sold under many names, most likely all made in the same sweat shop.

You really should have demoed it on an actual strut. We always like to see the practical application instead of clickbait for you to get a free tool.

@737mechanic Жыл бұрын

I didn't get it for free. I bought it after doing a strut with my old strut compressor and realized it was time to upgrade. The design of it is much better than the old acme threads and hook style.

@chrisbeckner2103 Жыл бұрын

@@737mechanic if you truly believe it is that much better than do a demo. Put it to the test!!! Again without the demo, you did little more than read the Amazon ad in a video. Is that the reputation you want to build, as an ad salesman?

@737mechanic Жыл бұрын

@@chrisbeckner2103 Well it was more than read the ad, it was actually touch and feel how the unit works, knowing how the normal old school one works with just the acme thread and hooks and seeing how much better of a design this one is one can get a really good idea of how much more rigid this one is compared to just the old school style. But as soon as I get a set of struts to do I will do a video of it in operation.

@@737mechanic I look forward to the video, and if possible, I might suggest an actual side by side against the old set. I’m pretty sure that kind of video will get a lot of attention and give viewers a real sense of comparison.

Thanks for the video but an actual demonstration would've been good.

@737mechanic Жыл бұрын

The only reason I didn't is that it works just like the traditional style screw-type spring compressor but stays more rigid.

Thread looks too fine to be strong 😱

@stephenrose8188 8 ай бұрын

The main forces are taken on the central screw which is not the outer fine thread on the tube. However, a properly made fine thread using the correct strength material is strong, and looking at this thread it is roughly the same diameter as the 10 ton hand press ram made by one of the premier specialist tool companies in the UK and that is 'Sykes Pickavant', there are copies as always and I think (forgive me if I am wrong friends in the USA) that KD or OTC tools may make such a similar tool. Perhaps they made it first I don't know.

@avflyguy 6 ай бұрын

Wow.. buying this and more than likely 'made in China' is almost more scary than the old school compressors that unfortunately have likely injured someone. I've had one of the screws break before on the old school one, and there is nothing scarier than figuring out how your going the remaining one off without dumb luck on your side. The only weak point I see in this one is the part that does the work.... the aluminum clamp should be made with steel, not aluminum. Way to many potential failure points. I'm surprised that with an A&P and I/A you'd go out on a limb on this one especially if you've not done a video testing it. I would have guessed your a SnapOn sort of guy

@737mechanic 6 ай бұрын

Just because I am an A&P doesn't mean I am some wussy of a safety nazi that is scared to work on stuff. Most people get hurt from a lack of common sense. For instance, I have used the same old school one over 100 times for 40 years, and from experience, I can tell when I need to stop torquing on it and I always stay to the side of it so if it does let loose I am not in the line of fire. This unit is much safer than the old-school one it replaced because the tube makes it rigid so it doesn't bow the way my other one did. And although I like Snap-on they are way overpriced and unlike many, I don't work to buy tools I work to earn a living for my family. BTW some Snap-on tools are made in China now.

@@737mechanic I can see the failure point being the shinny clamp made out of subpar metals, and the threads could be stripped under extreme pressure, causing the whole thing flying suddenly.
