Customer Reviews for VEVOR Strut Spring Compressor Set, Macpherson Strut Spring Compressor Kit, Interchangeable Fork Strut Coil Extractor Remover Tool, with Yellow Protective Sleeve and Carrying Case

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.

É lamentável que exatamente o mesmo item, mesma marca modelo Seja vendido por valores inferiores aos da loja Vevor, em loja AliExpress. Sabemos que o valor de retalho é distinto que ao publico porem situaçoes destas deveriam ser efetivamente reguladas. Mostra nos que existe larga margem de negociaçao para posterior venda ao publico. Neste caso o valor aproximava se dos 100eur, comprei em loja com desconto de cliente frequente por 95eur. No Aliexpress o mesmo item vende-se a partir dos 79.40. A expediçao via Aliexpress tambem assegura portes gratis e sensivelmente a mesma rapidez de envio. É de facto lamentavel, entendo eu como má gestao da comercializaçao do produto Vevor. Talvez no futuro seja mais minucioso no estudo de mercado. Cumprimentos

Werkzeug ist ok, aber der Koffer kam beschädigt an, ein Spanneraufsatz kam auch beschädigt. Seit Wochen warte ich auf Antwort, mehrmals Verkäufer angeschrieben- bis jetzt nichts passiert…🤦🏻‍♂️…

Ein Federspanner für Hobby Schrauber.

Belle malette, aspect robuste. S'abîme très vite, ne convient pas très bien pour Les ressorts un peu plus court. Mais dans l'ensemble, ça fait le taf

At the outset, the quality seems very good and it comes in a very nice plastic box. Of course, I always strongly recommend to thoroughly grease the threads before usign the tool. Working on coilsprings is never pleasant, and always stressful, no matter what tool you use. However, this specific design, also used by computers, must be used with particular caution ⚠️, as the forces generated by a compressed coilspring are significant, a d, if you mess-up, that could easily be your very last mistake ever ! When feasible, I strongly recommend the use of a good coilsprings compressing machine,, and ONLY use that type of tool when for applications where you need to compress the coilsprings while still installed on the car. And, even then, with my signififant experience, I scared myself quite a bit when the loops of the coilsprings slipped out.of the tool ! Fortunately, whe that happened, the coil was still on the car, but the tool got ejected a a faitr speed, I was always cautious a d focused, when using it, but less experienced mechanics can be hurt, at any second, if distracted. Please use with caution, ALWAYS !!!

Found the item very heavy to use in place some struts require compression to remove
