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.

This tool is awesome. Used for Toyota Tundra Struts on offroad TRD. These are strong struts, removed the coils with ease. Highly Recommend this tool to make life easy!

This compressor is utterly useless . Right out of the box it was assembled and the pump cylinder was not compressing . When the trucks coil was installed into the mounts the pump would decompress and you would have to continuously pump the handle to compress the spring. After repeated attempts the oil in the cylinder shot out of the adjustment screw and no longer worked. Ended up traveling to auto parts store and renting a compression tool. Complete waste of money and throwing it into the dumpster. It’s not like you can wait around for a replacement when the vehicle is in the air and front suspension is disassembled. Very frustrating to stop everything and go out and get a tool that works .

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.

Value engineer at its finest. Works well. I was able to do 4 shocks in less than an hour. Hardware is pre galled garbage. The jack/hydraulic ram is also garbage but worked. I wish the metal was thicker but I didn't notice any flex doing Subaru shocks.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Crazy value.

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.

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..
