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

What took thirty minutes with a pair of outside soring compressors now takes Five. This is by far the easiest spring compressor for automotive struts that I have used in the last forty or so years. Vevor has done a magnificent job of sizing, and selecting the proper weight of the Steel materials used in the Strut Press. The Base Plate works as intended. I have had no issues with the Vevor Strut Press whatsoever. I used an old axle bolt to hold the second set of hands to the machine Pictured. (If you haven't used a Strut Press, keep the Press between you & the Strut at all times. Secure the supplied safety chain to the Strut Spring before compressing to prevent a spring flyaway should it dislodge accidentally). Definitely a Five Star Product in my book.

I don't usually get excited about tools, but this hydraulic spring compressor absolutely blew me away. It shipped almost immediately after I ordered it and arrived way earlier than expected, which couldn't have been better timing. I was able to replace a noisy strut mount the night before an important road trip instead of worrying about it the whole drive. I've fought with those cheap threaded compressors that clamp to the sides, and on my Chevy Sonic's oddly shaped springs they were frustrating, slow, and honestly felt sketchy. This Vevor hydraulic compressor was a completely different experience. I set the strut in, gave it about 7 or 8 pumps, and the spring compressed perfectly. I had the strut mount swapped in about 10 minutes. No fighting it, no worrying about the clamps slipping, and no wasted time. As a DIY parking lot mechanic, I wish I'd bought this years ago. It turned one of the jobs I dreaded most into one of the easiest. If you're on the fence, stop wasting time with the screw-type compressors. This thing is worth every penny.

Beware. THIS TOOL CAN KILL YOU VERY EASILY. Trying to change the front struts on my 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, and this is probably the most dangerous tool I've ever used! The square tubing on the tower bent over so much that it would not retract all the way! Such a great idea, but cheap metal and construction makes this a DEADLY TOOL. VEVOR has become the "Jack of all trades, master of NOTHING"

AC delco small struts cannot be compressed with the cheap "widow makers" because the top hat and the bottom plate of the struts get in the way of long screw bolt. Those are also really unsafe. This one worked well and the chain provided an extra degree of safety. Vevor compression tool works for large SUVs as well because it comes with larger coil plates. Highly recommend it.

Very easy to set up. Product was a little unbalanced. Cheap and looks like it a reasonable product

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.

It worked on a Toyota Highlander for the 3 corners; LEFT FRONT, LEFT REAR and RIGHT REAR struts. As for the FRONT RIGHT it was another story, the upper part of the strut coil does not fit the clamp, maybe because of how the coil spring is wound?. I tried it in several positions, even upside down which is not the proper way, still the coil seems a little bit larger than the clamp, (I used the big clamp). it kicks the upper part outwards. On the plus side it was easy to change the shocks and bit safer than the screw type, which I ended up using on the FRONT RIGHT STRUT (borrowed from auto zone). I wanted to return this but the paint was easily scratched on the first use, it is not powder coated. I don't know what the solution is for the RIGHT side, maybe a bigger clamp?. 3 stars for the 3 sides.

This item works well does not fit all springs. It does fit the rears springs on a 2007 Lexus RX 350 it did not fit the front springs on the same vehicle. We had to pull out Old faithful my Eastwood that holds three size spring compressors. I still haven’t figured out what the chain was for and there’s really nothing in the instructions. I guess this is normal.

This little thing is sweet. A lot smaller then what I was expecting but with the included chain feels even more secure then the wall mounted ones you would typically find in a shop. Very simple concept that works well. Also really easy on the wallet

Fonctionne très bien . Je recommande!

Unless you own very small car, avoid this product, it’s not strong enough. The rollers don’t work and just scratch the paint which end up binding the press. The coil holder are so loose that the spring don’t compress straight and let’s be honest that little chain is not gonna hold if it’s slip..

Pros: - Does the job well - Less expensive than other models Cons: - The finition of the parts is quite rough. I had to file the inside of the square tubes so they would not scratch into each other while using the hydraulic jack. - The top black plastic cap was squished at factory installation. No big deals but this takes a star off. Overall satisfied with it as it works nicely. NOTE: Smaller spring cups are for cars and bigger cups are probably for trucks.

Used it on titan front springs,work pretty good especially for the price.
