Maybe ok for lighter springs/smaller cars, I've seen some Amazon reviews of them actually bending under load BUT the Sealey RE231(this is a copy of that) is far heavier built, been using one for years but its 3 times the price....For safety sake i'd go for the Sealey if going to do alot of work....Some springs require to be almost fully compressed, not sure I'd trust this tbh... spring injuries can be horrific.
@@JoediyLabtry a BMW 1 series front 😂 Your spring barely needed compressed to get the top mount on....As I said some springs need almost fully compressed, you'll even find you'll need to take the compressor apart to release the spring and shock assembly as they can trap themselves whey released. It varies greatly from car to car. Some are easy some not so easy especially springs with a taper.
Informative video! Thank you!
I’ve never used this tool before but it reminds me a little of the bumper jacks back in the 70s, thanks Joe 👍😁
Thanks Dave
Are these safe? Just ordered one.
Thanks
I have had good luck with mine, with the safety chains, no worries
@JoediyLab

It did my Vw and was very easy. The sliding rail and spring caps are very beefy. I do not see a problem.
