SPRING COMPRESSOR PROFESSIONAL

SPRING COMPRESSOR PROFESSIONAL

This professional strut spring compressor is made of drop forged steel and has locking pins for safety. In addition, it can be very difficult to remove old warped springs with this tool. Also, it doesn't come with any instructions, and it does not work on all vehicle models. One downside is that it's really heavy with a coil spring in it. Overall, it's a well-built piece of hardware. The three different-sized jaws are also convenient because you can use them on everything from a sports coupe to a truck. Another advantage is that it allows you to grab much further apart and compress the spring a lot more than some rival compressors. One of the best things about this tool is that the bolt turns very smoothly.

This tool is designed for hand ratcheting, not an impact wrench, and has been tested to withstand heavy loads with a maximum force of nearly 10,000 pounds.

It can compress a variety of Macpherson-style coil springs, and you can easily change the jaws (it includes 65-125mm, 88-160mm, and 126-212mm pairs of jaws). This kit includes one compression rod, six yokes, one adjustment hook, and six fixing screws. While we recognize that this system is less likely to slip, there’s still a possibility of it happening. Also, the coil hooks on the Branick don’t have detent pins. Unless you’re often doing suspension repairs, you should probably save your money. The Branick is expensive, however, and you should be aware that it may be more compressor than you need before you purchase it. The Branick strut compressor is also much faster when it comes to compressing springs, as it only requires one fitting to be tightened instead of alternating sides like the other compressors on our list. Aside from the heaviest-duty work, the Branick easily compresses struts and springs by use of a corkscrew bolt and handle. The Branick can handle nearly anything you throw at it. The Branick model is the benchmark for nearly all stand-style compressors, and the quality is second to none. While it may be overkill for most home mechanics, the Branick Strut Spring Compressor deserves our Honorable Mention spot on our list of the Best Strut Spring Compressors. Also, it's not strong enough to compress the springs of certain vehicles and will not fit over the strut springs on others. Even though they flex under pressure, that's not uncommon, and they return to normal after removal. However, the rods bend under pressure before straightening once they're no longer under tension. Overall, it’s a good option at a low price. As long as you’re careful, evenly distribute the load, and grease it before use, this tool does the job. You can put the hooks around the top to keep it from sliding. The bottom double hook is deep, stays in place, and keeps the setup from twisting off. This tool is heavy, sturdy, and well made. It has an operating capacity of 300 mm and an overall length of 300 mm. It's designed to compress struts and other coil springs on a variety of passenger and light commercial vehicles. The Shankly coil spring compressor is made of drop forged enamel and has double-ended jaws and attachable security hooks for safety and control.
