## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these work on 08 chevy tahoe, and how much pressure do I need to remove the nut?**
A: They will work on practically any car or SUV.  If too long, cut to sit with an air driven grinding disc.  I presume you are asking about the nut at the top of the shock.  They are always very tight.  Grip the shock's thread with vice grips or similar.

**Q: include a case?**
A: No case was a lot cheaper  but same tool good quality

**Q: What s the difference between the 27036, 25553 and the 25550? 25553 page shows 25550 in image!**
A: The only difference is the packaging it's delivered in. Otherwise these are the same product.

**Q: Are the safety features sufficient for the backyard mechanic?**
A: I'm a backyard mechanic and I've used them and feel comfortable with them.   I understand your concern because I've felt it too.  The thought of one of those springs getting loose all of a sudden is scary.  I got these because I've had other OEM tools and have been pleased with them.  These are sturdy.  All steel or cast iron.  They are heavy.  My experience with them is that I put them in place and they stayed in place.  That said, a reasonable amount of suspicion is healthy.  I don't put myself in harm's way if I can avoid it.  Sometimes with these it can't be avoided and I'm ok with that.  I'm confident that these will hold the spring compressed.

*by B***E on Reviewed in Canada on 12 August 2023*

Took some fidgeting to get them mounted.  Due to the shape of the shock tower hat I couldn't attach the compressors at the very ends of the springs but it wasn't an issue to get enough compression.Overall the product worked great in my application.I like the safety pins, which was the main reason I bought this particular one.  The safety pins add a little frustration as they are loose fitting and can get in the way of mounting.  One of the pins didn't have good clearance so required a pretty hard push to get it set, and a hammer to tap it out when the job was done.The safety pins did work while in place making the compressors more stable.If you've never used a spring compressor before the idea is to mount each one as close as possible to opposite sides and matching coils, and as close to the ends as possible, but that doesn't work out exactly on all strut/ spring configurations. My set up was a good test for how they adapt to an awkward set up.  It was awkward, but worked.If it's close enough it will be ok.Gradually add compression to each side back and fourth until the spring assembly becomes unseated top and bottom (if it's unseated on one, it will be unseated on the other, but best to double check and ensure a good safety margin.) You can check when it's about to be unseated by trying to wiggle the shock tower hat.  When you're close to enough compression it will start to develop play.. but make sure you don't attempt shock removal at this point as the spring still has considerable force applied. Always wait until the springs are clearly unseated before removing shock. Half a finger width or so of being unseated is enough.I turned mine manually about 4-5 half turns each back and fourth. I would have used my impact on *low speed* using the same sequence but didn't have the necessary access to the bolt heads as I had to mount the compressors inverted to get them to fit. Using an impact here can end your day instantly with injury or death if you're trigger happy with it.I don't know how many times these can be used so I didn't rate durability, or if they can handle the stress of a large truck spring but they were fine for a compact SUV.I would buy again or recommend to a friend if needed for a similar job.
