HF Spring compressors and Northern Tool Strongway 3-Ton floor jack

Both great products. The spring compressors:

They come in a nice case. I had no issues using them. They state to not use an impact gun, but I did anyways. No issues with them. You just need to be careful not to get the socket too close to the spring or it will get stuck. The bolt that you turn is pretty close to the spring.

The 3-Ton floor jack is as good as my old Arcan. Even better that it has a 20.5" height range. It's on sale at $150 for now and I got an extra 5% off by signing up for the email. Setup was easy and I had it lifting the rear end of the truck for about 6.5 hours while I replaced all of my shocks. I used it on the front to get my jackstands in place. It held steady with no indication that it was going to fail. Solid jack and a better price than comparable HF floor jacks.

I’ve always been scared of those type of spring compressors. The one piece ones with the safety pins are the way to go. A little bit more pricey but keeping my teeth, I’ll pay the extra bucks. https://www.eastwood.com/powerbuilt-strut-tool-strut-coil-compressor-kit91-641429.html
