Using the Eastwood MacPherson Strut and Coil Spring Compressor

Chief! You’re having too much fun!

Bill, is there such a thing as too much fun.

[@adivarso8175]

Well done for doing it the correct way by not using an Impact gun.

Thank you

@@JWCMotorsports Be mindful man you have to put them screws in to hold the spring teeth to the press.

Would you say the generic version that's 70$ cheaper is unsafe?

[@JWCMotorsports]

Any of them are unsafe it not used properly. I have used several types of strut compressors, cheap harbor freight, parts store loaner and $1000 big units. For entry into the process with ease of use I found this one works for me the best (it is not the only one I have but the easiest to setup and use).

That was scary watching you use the hammer

[@JWCMotorsports]

What you couldn't see was that the spring tension had been released. I've seen the videos of struts blowing apart, and have only had a slight pop on large springs with an older compressor I had before this Eastwood one. Thanks for watching.
