Review: We didn't die or even have excitements - Used these to swap in some Eibach lowering springs on my Mazda. We lined them up by hand and then one person held the set while the other person ran the impact. Alternating sides we were easily able to compress and remove, then install the new springs. These were cheap, to my door quickly, and we got the job done without any excitement or stress. I would not be scared if I had to use them again. That's about the best you can expect from these cheap sets, so I am giving it a perfect score.
Review: A must buy - I was able to lower my 2000 camaro using this coil compressors, they work great and look to be made out of good qualitity material.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these work on 08 chevy tahoe, and how much pressure do I need to remove the nut?**
A: They will work on practically any car or SUV.  If too long, cut to sit with an air driven grinding disc.  I presume you are asking about the nut at the top of the shock.  They are always very tight.  Grip the shock's thread with vice grips or similar.

**Q: include a case?**
A: No case was a lot cheaper  but same tool good quality

**Q: What s the difference between the 27036, 25553 and the 25550? 25553 page shows 25550 in image!**
A: The only difference is the packaging it's delivered in. Otherwise these are the same product.

**Q: Are the safety features sufficient for the backyard mechanic?**
A: I'm a backyard mechanic and I've used them and feel comfortable with them.   I understand your concern because I've felt it too.  The thought of one of those springs getting loose all of a sudden is scary.  I got these because I've had other OEM tools and have been pleased with them.  These are sturdy.  All steel or cast iron.  They are heavy.  My experience with them is that I put them in place and they stayed in place.  That said, a reasonable amount of suspicion is healthy.  I don't put myself in harm's way if I can avoid it.  Sometimes with these it can't be avoided and I'm ok with that.  I'm confident that these will hold the spring compressed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needed Tool can Be Tricky
*by R***C on October 25, 2020*

I have an '02 Trailblazer and it has 300K on it with the stock coils. Right! Time to replace. So bought Mook 81114 coils and Bilstein 4600s... also using a MAXX Spacer, 1.5" and new Moog insulators. I used a pneumatic drill and I placed the 'hooks one above the bottom loop and one below the top loop of the coil. The 'hook' has some 'locks' but my coils (or these 81114s) were a bit too thick to allow the lock to plunge all the way so I went with them down as far as possible. I compresed one side at a time (of course) about 1" and then the other, so forth. It took some time but finally got the 'Shocks in with the MAXX spacer and new insulators" and put the bolt onto the shock, tightened it down (use an allen to stop the rod from spinning) and it went okay. I noticed the threaded compressor rods flexed ever so slightly but it wasn't a major concern. I undid the compression the same way, little at a time both sides. HOWEVER when done I noted the bottom hooks would 'tap' out (I used a rubber mallet) but the tops would not. The Coils were compressed and did not leave enough space at the top portion to remove the hooks. I had to tap them around and down the circle of coils to the bottom where they would come out... so be aware that the geometry changes once you have the shock in and you might have to do that as well. Very good product and easy to use...
