Bought a set of these today, along with some baller 1/2 drive sockets.

I'll let you know how they work. The OTC is def sweet, but about$500 no?

How did I know that once the MSPaints started, that HotRex would show up. I'm honored, I guess, not really. :)

The spring compressors I bought did the job just fine. Had to take them apart and assemble them on the spring, but once together they cranked down easily with the impact, and made quick work of the swap.

yeah the otc setup is kind of baller, i think it's about 500 or so, but if you do enough struts, its worth it, but for personal use, ratchet straps sound like a good idea to me
