Familiar to what (throw me a bone here!

The "acme threaded rod" in MSC2 looks the same right down to the washers and the COO is Taiwan. It's maddening!

Those are made in Taiwan and you'll find them at the ATD tools site. I've got one - it's a strong strut spring compressor. Wait a minute ... I think they may be wrong on their COO.

Yep, I knew I'd seen it before.

You'd think the piece that the spring lays in would be a tad thicker? I've never seen one span, but if it did that is where it would snap.
I was as surprised as you. My last Snap on spring compressor was made offshore as well, but it is still going strong.

I would've rather had one made in USA too, but I figured since there was no such thing available, I might as well get it for as cheap as I can. Incidentally, the first time I used one was when I rented one from Autozone; I was rather impressed with it.
I've got this one...works well, but sometimes can be a pain to get all the hardware in place.
The one above looks like it would take a couple seconds to mount.

^ ^ ^ I like the way that one stands out away from the spring. The ATD type gets a little too close to the coils sometimes.
