This tool is a must for the DIY or home mechanic, it help me change the springs on my McPherson struts for my Mercedes’ CLK which meant that I did not have to go to a garage and was able to save myself all that money that a garage charges per hour so I think it paid for it’s self on the first day I used if. It wasn’t an exact fit for these particular struts but it did the job perfectly after a bit of messing around to get the tool to work for me. But I must add this tool is not fir the faint hearted as it could be extremely dangerous if not used with care and attention.
