Both Tools. Even Pressure.
Take Your Time.
The Vortek Spring Compressor Set is designed for compressing automotive coil springs during strut removal and installation — giving you the controlled, gradual compression needed to safely remove spring load before separating strut components.
✓ Use both compressors simultaneously on opposite sides of the spring
✓ Compress evenly and gradually — inspect hooks and threads before every use
✓ Wear eye protection throughout — a compressed spring stores significant energy
Critical safety warning: A coil spring under compression stores enough energy to cause serious injury or death if released suddenly. This tool is intended for experienced mechanics and informed DIYers who understand the risks. If you are unsure of the procedure, have the work done professionally.
Removes spring load safely.
So you can separate the strut.
To replace a strut insert or top mount, the coil spring must be compressed to remove its load from the spring seats before the strut nut can be safely removed. The Vortek Spring Compressor Set applies gradual, controlled compression from both sides of the spring simultaneously — the correct method for safe strut disassembly.
Paired compression.
Gradual. Even. Controlled.
Paired Tool Design
Use both compressors on opposite sides of the spring simultaneously — never use only one. Even compression prevents the spring from shifting or releasing unevenly.
Threaded Adjustment
The threaded screw mechanism gives you slow, visible control over the compression rate — compress gradually and inspect the hooks and spring after every few turns.
Hook Engagement
Hooks must be fully and correctly seated on the spring coils before compression begins. Inspect engagement before applying any load and after each adjustment.

What customers love
about it.
“Did front struts myself for the first time. Took my time, compressed both sides evenly and the job went without any issues. Solid tool, threads are smooth and the hooks seated properly on the spring coils.”

“Good set for the price. I run a small workshop and these have handled a few strut jobs without any problems. Just make sure you check the hooks are seated before you start turning. Does what it needs to do.”
Alberton, Gauteng · Verified Purchase
“Used these on a rear strut replacement. The threaded adjustment is smooth and gives you good control over the compression. Not a tool to rush with but if you know what you’re doing it works well.”
