Spring compressors

I just recently used the O'Reilly rentals on big 4x4 springs for my Titan. Worked better than ones previously purchased at harbor freight. Actually very heavy duty.

Yep, O'Reilys and Auto Zone use name brand tools... not that cheap ebay crap. The thing is, why spend 100-200 on a spring compressor when you'll use it... what... maybe a couple of times?

+1. Spend the money you save on torque wrenches and other tools that you will use often.
