VEVOR Hydraulic Strut Spring Compressor - 4.5 Ton/9920 LBS Jack Capacity, 1 Ton Rated Compression Force, Auto Coil Tool for Removing

It seems too good to be true for the price, but this works well enough for a hobby mechanic. The instructions are hard to read and essentially useless. But if you look at the pictures and watch YouTube videos you will figure it out easily.

Worked very well once I figured out the correct spring placement within the compressor. The two arms for lifting and lowering the jack are very flimsy so gentle use of these two components are needed, I bent the longer bar for lifting the jack when I used my foot, so I ended up using my hands, which worked fine and did not have any issues. My second strut only took about 5 minutes to swap the springs.

The square tubing bent with the first try. I had to use C-clamps to help compress. Barley good enough to get me through one job. I would not recommend buying this compressor.

After watching several YouTube videos on this product, I am willing to try it when it comes time to change the front shocks on my Ford Raptor. I've been warned by many how DANGEROUS it is to compress coil springs and since I'm not a 70 year old daredevil, I looked around at different options. This is a heavy, welded solidly tool with a SAFETY CHAIN which I would feel better if it was thicker, but should contain any wild flying coils. The included instructions are good for starting a fire and nothing else. I'm satisfied with the quality of this tool for the price I paid. If it doesn't work as well as I hope, I'll update this post....if I'm not dead.

If you have to do struts this is the best tool I have used for it, makes it much easier and safer. Well worth the expense.

Makes swapping top hats on Ford Raptor shocks a breeze. Bolt it to a pallet or some kind of base for more stability. Only issue is releasing tension is relatively dangerous. The foot pedal is basically an ON/OFF switch. I found if you just gently tap the pedal quickly with your hand it will release tension 1-2mm at a time to desired result. Overall, well worth the amount of money you save from not going to a shop if you know how to turn wrenches. Much better and safer than those small hook and threaded rod types you are thinking about right now.

Works great. Well made and best price anywhere. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to make a wide base to use this stand. I have attached a pic. The stand is heavy duty, but the weight of a shock would tip it over and especially when trying to loosen the cap nut on a coilover, it would tip over. Having a base would also allow you to stand safely behind the press while working.

Great tool for getting strut springs off and on the strut. I used o sienna mini-van- tips: Make sure to tip off jack hydraulic fluid- mine came almost empty. If you dont do that you won’t get the length you need to do the job. Also after you do one side the other side strut assembly might need to be adjust a quarter turn like a mirror. My experience was I got the driver side done, then the left side was attempted. With the jack out of fluid it wouldn’t fully compress the spring. A quick top off and it worked without having to return. Great must have tool for this job.

Für einen einmaligen Austausch der Stoßdämpfer hat es hervorragend funktioniert. Es wirkt sehr stabil und qualitativ gut verarbeitet. Außerdem ist der Preis für die Arbeit, die es leistet, wirklich fair. Ich bin zufrieden, zumindest für dieses eine Mal hat es seine Aufgabe geschafft. Wie es sich in Zukunft bewähren wird, kann ich noch nicht sagen, aber momentan kann ich sagen, dass das Werkzeug sehr gut verarbeitet ist.

Riktigt BRA.

Works great, way better than the sketchy side mount versions, worth the money.

Ottimo! Fa il suo lavoro egregiamente.

I am only just getting into mechanicing in my mid 50s. There are only two things that scare me, springs under compression and grinders. This has cured me of one of my fears. I was able to remove, replace and refit my top strut bearing in around 15 minutes each side. This made the actual bearing swapping a sub one minute task and felt as safe as anything. I love this tool and would even volunteer to do other peoples springs now I have this. Summary: VERY easy to use, makes the job fast and easy, and remove the pucker factor.
