Description
WORKPRO Universal Strut (Spring) Compressor – Model WP315000 – is the essential professional tool for suspension system maintenance. This kit is designed to safely compress coil springs, allowing you to change struts or strut mounts quickly and accurately on most types of vehicles.
Professional Features and Benefits:
-
Universal Compatible Design: The jaws are designed to fit most sizes and dimensions of coil springs in sedans, 4x4s, and light trucks.
-
Enhanced Safety (Hooks Design): The hooks feature a deep and wide design that ensures the spring is securely gripped and prevents sudden slippage under high pressure, providing a safe working environment for the technician.
-
Reinforced Steel Compression Screws: The central screws are made of high-quality heat-treated steel, giving them superior hardness and the ability to withstand the high torque generated by compressing strong springs without thread wear.
-
Easy to Use with Manual and Pneumatic Tools: The tool can be operated using a manual socket wrench or an air impact wrench to increase completion speed in busy workshops.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: The entire tool is designed for heavy-duty service, making it a long-term investment for professional auto repair shops.

Safe Usage Steps:
- Position the two pieces directly opposite each other (180 degrees) on either side of the spring to ensure even pressure distribution.
- Ensure that the hooks fully and correctly grip the spring coils.
- Begin tightening the screws alternately (a little from the right, then a little from the left) to maintain the spring's balance and prevent bending.
- Do not over-compress the spring; compress only enough to release the strut or mount.
Important Technical Tip: Before use, always lubricate the screw threads with heavy grease; this significantly reduces friction, facilitates rotation, and protects the tool's threads from premature wear due to pressure and heat.
