Spring Compressor?

(1/2) > >>

Ferrit:
Morning, can anyone recommend a spring compressor set they like, or hate?

Mark

WestonE:
Try to have a set with 3 minimum of them and do them up gradually in sequence

SanRemo78:
I bought a hydraulic one off eBay. Don't like it, too much play in the (generic) seating that allows a little movement. And that can be catastrophic if it lets go and you haven't got the restraining chain on properly.

Don't be tempted to "protect" the paint on the springs when using clamp types either, and try to tighten evenly and also undo evenly. I had one slip round the spring which ended in a little blood being spilt once... As with any stored energy exercise extreme caution!

Ferrit:
I was looking at a three set @eric

@guy I was looking at your post the other day with your injury

so a trad three item set.  Brilliant thanks
