Hyvin toimiva ja turvallinen vaihtaa jouset. Vahva rakenne eikä tarvitse pelätä että jousi lentäisi päälle.

J’ai utilisé cette machine pour faire mes allées et mes terrasses à la maison et aussi quelques chantiers à l’extérieur. C’est une très bonne petite machine qui démarre toujours au quart de tour.

Used on front springs to MY14 Xkr. Quality is good, and worth the price . However found 2 caveats, 1) Not as Easy to compress spring to required size . Instructions state not to use an impact tool, and rightly so , so I had to use a breaker bar with pipe extension. Good luck on trying to keep the whole assy. from rotating . 2) When compressing spring enough, it began to 'Bow Out ' on opposite side of screw mechanism , this is not only dangerous but prevented me from inserting strut with boot etc. . Resolved by placing another compression tool on same side where bow occurred and compressing both at same time

Semble de bonne qualité... Pas encore utilisé 😉 ......,,.............................................

Done a great job both like the quality and delivery Saved me both time and money I can give my full rekommendation

I bought this tool to replace the struts on the coil-overs for my early 2000's Subaru. Not really wanting to end up disfigured I did the normal amount of video's and how-to's to get my head around how bad the job was going to be. I recognized that most of the accidents involving spring compressors was either a mis-match in the size of the tool for the size of the spring and/or placement issues with the tool on the spring. I ran across the Vevor tool and it appeared as it if would solve both problems. The lip on the platforms would prevent the spring from jumping off the tool and the mix-and-match sizes would ensure the correct fit. Both expectations were true. Now, using the tool is something to get used to. I would recommend you grease the lead screw well as well as grease the outside of the shaft with some sticky grease. The front springs required a scary amount of compression - the upper and lower "drifts" were maybe an inch apart. The first time you have to do this you're sweating bullets but the tool handles it well. The grease on the shaft will help you release the tension a bit more smoothly when it's time and minimizes the clicks and creaks as the tool de-tensions under load. RESIST the urge to put a power tool on the drive nut. Just use a normal 3/8" socket wrench as it's all you really need. The rear struts required significantly less compression BUT we needed to use different drifts/platforms for the upper and lower parts of the spring. It was a win having all of the options in the same case. With the inevitable mistakes you make the first time you do anything we probably had tensioned and de-tensioned the tool about 8 times before the job was done. By the fourth time around you're getting pretty familiar with the operation and you gain a lot of confidence with the tool and the procedure. There's nothing I can really fault the tool on but I wonder if there's a way to safely incorporate a bushing between the shaft and the sliding element so that the two don't bind when you're near maximum compression. There are some fret marks on the shaft that indicate there is some stiction at high compression loads. The tool comes in a good plastic case and will occupy some hidden recess of the garage until I have to do suspension work again - which is hopefully never, but you never know. I would lend it to a friend with confidence and give them this same explanation.

Only working with big spring not like truck cab Shock Absorber, only by if you use only big spring.

Good overall however after 2 springs removed the roll pin in one end came out and the circlip in the other end bent and came out. Easy to fix but I feel like they need to be made better. Also there is NO lube on any bearings in either end and the threaded rod is also dry. After lubing these myself the unit was ok.

Såg fin ut lätt att använda men det var lite kinakvalite på den. Brytstiftet gick av vid första användningen. Använde mutterdragare det är inte att rekommendera.
