    I don't know if I would trust some $10 eBay coil spring compressors, that sounds like a death wish.

    If prices are the same in Vic, its $57 from Supercheap for some Stanley compressors, or Autobarn have a $35 single claw kit (Orcon), or a $45 dual claw kit (Stanley I think).

    Just coincidental that I was looking this afternoon.

    You'll find that even if you think you'll only use them once, eventually a friend will need to borrow them, or you'll buy new struts, or change springs.
    Id say they are a handy tool to have round and are well worth the $50 dollar price tag.

    Buy them for $35, $45 or whatever, use them once, then put them on eBay with some description like "Siccest brand in the world, worth $5000, they are fully hectic, ULEH", guaranteed some retard will pay $4000 for them.
