Product worked as intended. Be sure to use the supplied clear rubber spring protectors, my springs coating came off rather easily in some maxed. Also make sure when you torque down the exterior nut you put the second wrench exactly where the nut is inside the metal sleeve or it will deform the housing. 4 stars because the measurement markings on the outside aren’t stamped on, they are a stickers and come off easy.

Used to adjust the rear suspension on a Kawasaki Vulcan 500. The fit is a little tight. Had to use a rubber mallot to get jaws completely onto the spring. Worked great. Didn't take any photos while doing it, but here is a photo of the spring it compressed.

I was concerned with this compression tool, given the reviews specifically on installing a top gun black spring( 9.3kg spring rate) on a kawasaki klr 650. I was able to install the spring with minimal issues/effort. Support the outside housing of the tools properly and go slow and evenly. I also did oil the threads. No issues. It did scratch the paint on the spring slightly but minor and not a concern for me.

I used these to compress the springs on a Can-Am defender. I didn’t have to compress them very much, so they worked well. If you have to fully compress a spring of that size, you may need a larger set of compressors.

Used these to remove 700 in/lb spring from 2019 Vstrom. Metal body started bending inwards and bolt didn't want to thread once I started getting enough compression to remove locking collar. Followed instructions and applied lubricant to instructed areas. May have been to heavy of a spring for the tool.

These were the biggest piece of junk tools I’ve ever purchased. Wouldn’t even compress a spring on a Honda pioneer 700. Both tools broke on the very first use! They are a wast of money. Ratchet straps worked much better and safer! I’ll be trying for a refund!!!

There's a window of working torque available here that will enable success, before they want to turn and slide to the easiest out that's there.They're clamped to a shiny, continually turning object, with fairly sub par scratch resistant hooks.You can give them the best available chance by keeping them exactly at polar opposites on the spring and torquing the bolts very slowly, one at a time to not allow one to take on too much, which loosens the other, causing spring bulge, and an uneven tension, but this only works so far.They're very small, and not braced away from each other. As soon as you step outside of their optimum working conditions, they'll cause a chain reaction of slide, combined with spring bulge. One takes over, the second slips, and they'll end up on the same side.. Your fingers can be in that place, even with the shock in a vise as these things are loose and free to snap around if it goes wrong.In short, if you have a more even grade of spring, like an off road coil, or a longer spring , these work fine.If you have a shorter, stiffer, steeper grade, or higher capacity spring, they can't exert enough force without wanting to turn and slide. As they turn, they scratch spring paint. As they slide they also scratch spring paint.Realistically, these don't do the job I needed them to do, but I can see where they might.I'd like to see a way to brace them in place with an improved hook coating that doesn't scratch. It would make a slightly iffy design work fine, but as is, makes for a potentially dangerous tool.Effectively, it needs to be braced inside of a frame. With them loose, this small, and at this capacity with only 2 contact points, it's just a terrible idea. Perhaps if the hooks were wider, their contact points would be able to withstand more without sliding.

I was a little worried to read the negative reviews before getting the goodsHowever, when I got the goods and used them, I am very satisfied with the goods.It was used to remove the spring of the ohlins ya535 that was never used.There was no dent in the separated spring. not even find a scratch. perfectThe item comes in a special iron box.Includes instruction and extra plastic protective materialAs described in instruction, I applied grease at thread and upper washer. Liquid grease was applied inside the upper jaw, which is difficult to apply grease to.The virtual vertical line the spring compressor's jaw and spring meet does not coincide with the shaft of the shock. So spring compressors will be natural if installed in a slightly oblique x-shaped configuration.This will prevent compressor from slipping a little. But it is not the most important part.This is the most important point.If you compress the spring by turning the spring compressor, torque will be generated. You will usually catch the shock to keep the spins from spinning. don't do that!!!If you do this, the spring compressors may break away from the spring and cause injuries or damage to the spring, as in many reviews here.You can hold the shock with a small force to fix the position. However, the torque that drives the spring compressor must be offset within the spring compressor. The monkey spanner is the best tool. With a monkey wrench, hold the lower jaw of the spring compressor and turn the spring compressor to compress the spring. Do not overtighten one side at a time, but tighten both sides while balancingThere are no pictures taken while working with care. To help, I took several pictures after the work was done. Note please.
