    Coil spring compressor

    I bought the compressors made by Lisle. $80.00. Great quality. Captures the spring with U-bolts. Felt safe doing Nissan Frontier struts.

    Mine has saved me several times. Uprighted a rental mini-ex that I layed on it's side. Pulled my tractor out of sticky situations a couple times. I believe it's paid for itself now.

    Tools that you thought were stupid to buy and now can’t live without.
