Spring Compressor 

Discover a complete range of spring compressors for strut and suspension service, including hydraulic, pneumatic, and manual models. Built for secure clamping, controlled compression, and safer handling—ideal for professional workshops and vehicle maintenance.

Key Specs You Should Check Before Ordering

1. Capacity (compressive force)

Match the tool rating to spring stiffness and workshop workload

2. Max spring diameter

Confirm the clamp range fits your spring outer diameter

3. Compression range

Check minimum and maximum compression length for your strut assembly

4. Strut and wire compatibility

For strut-type compressors, confirm damper strut diameter and wire diameter limits

5. Safety features

Safety cover or cage recommended
Anti-slip jaws and locking structure improve stability during compression

Common workshop jobs

  • MacPherson strut disassembly and reassembly
  • Shock absorber replacement
  • Suspension spring replacement
  • Vehicle maintenance and repair training workshops

FAQs

What is the difference between manual, hydraulic, and pneumatic spring compressors?
Manual is best for light, occasional jobs. Hydraulic offers smoother, controlled compression for regular use. Pneumatic or pneumatic hydraulic is faster for high-frequency workshop work.
Can one spring compressor fit all vehicle springs?
No. Springs vary in diameter, length, and stiffness. Match the tool’s max spring diameter, compression range, and capacity to the spring.
What safety features should a spring compressor have?
Anti-slip jaws, a locking mechanism, stable base/frame, controlled compression movement, and a safety cover or guard if available.
How do I choose the correct spring diameter and compression range?
Check the spring's outside diameter and required compression length, then pick a model that covers both with some margin.
When should I choose a compressor with a safety cover?
When working with larger or stiffer springs, frequent use, or when you want extra protection during compression.
Can these compressors be used for MacPherson struts and shock assemblies?
Yes, if the spring diameter, strut diameter, and compression length fall within the model's specs.
