Spring compressor choice.

Three cars needing front end maintenance, someday, wants a spring compressor. Mostly for the imagined freedom for time to clean up, paint the associated parts, not involving a shop.

Any expertise for a brand or style to buy ? I know there are cheesy mickey mousers out there, ready to make me crabby.

I recently bought a craftsman version and it works great.

Perfect ! Price fits in my coin purse and Sears (Craftsman) is close by.

You should get a sales commission for the application photo.

Thank you.

Looks strong. Sears also has a set of flat ratchet wrenches, right? :idea:
I wonder if some are even off-set.
Good Luck,,,,Greg
