Excellent clamps
Easy and very safe to use. I wish I had bought a set of these years ago.

Did the job, room for improvement
They did the job, much longer than the old school spring compressors I have, Used on Zafira A front springs to replace both sides. The hooked clamps ensure the clamp remains on the spring although they didn’t sit comfortably on my springs, almost as if they were for a larger diameter spring ( one hook located the other nearly did but not quite I might be able to grind the corners for a better fit.
One clamp slides free on the thread, the other is attached, takes much longer to compress and release than the old style clamps with opposing threads.
Did the job well but with a little more thought in design and evaluation could have been a fantastic product.Read full review...

Good product
Good product at a great price and delivered promptly. I was concerned other versions would be too short but these are long enough to cope with almost anything I would imagine. Worked really well on very stiff springs.Read full review...

Good Tool
With two hooks gripping the spring, it's much safer than the ones with single hooks. Well made and worked!

value for money item
Came next day delivery, compressed the springs on my land rover discovery TD5 with ease. Would not of been able to replace the shock absorbers/dampers without them.

Beware
If ordering for use on a car or suv get the shorter ones these are for really long 4x4 springs gap between jaws is to big even when fully tightened up. No good for my x-trail. Good quality but don't make the mistake I made. First class seller just wrong tool my mistakeRead full review...

Long coil spring compresses
Good value and worked,as it should. Having a double hook one end makes it a lot quicker and safer to compress

Not suitable
The spring bulges out in the middle, making it difficult to fit smaller dia. outer coils, i.e. the clamp forks are not long enough. Also as the spring coil slopes down the two fork ends of the clamp can't fit, instead it slips down. Not suitable. Tried to get it to work and struggled for two days and gave up.Read full review...
