strut spring compressor
has anyone ever used this kind? the safety pin wont engage because the spring is too wide. doesn't seem safe.

Ran into the same thing and decided not to proceed because of the safety concern. The option then was to take the struts to a local shop to swap the springs, or punt and go with the Rancho Quick Struts (which I did). I think the local shop quoted $25-40 each strut, but I cannot recall specifically.

those coils are way heavier than the old cars used to be , a guy on another
forum , tried it with a cheap compressor , and the thing exploded.
