Spring spreaders

[Georgew48]

Are the spring spreaders that Snyders sells good enough for the do-it-yourself mechanic?

Yes

Yes they are, I have 1 front and 1 rear in my shop and they work great.

 

[Georgew48]

Thanks. Looks like I will be ordering a set.

Made my shackle replacement a snap. Right tool for the job as they say.

Which one?? Snyders shows 3 rear spring spreaders.

 

[Tinker]

I purchased one like this, but on their website currently they don't show it. Or at least I didn't see it.

Maybe I purchased from brattons, but I swear it was from Synders also.

Do a search as this has been discussed at great length before, along with pictures of manuf ones and home built.

Used one on my coupe just a couple of weeks ago. Their is no question when using it that it is a safe device. Rear Spring Replacement

This is one from M.A.C.S. Fabrication in Sturgeon Bay WI, currently on eBay. Has anyone used this one?

I've got the green one in Tinkers picture, it works fine, I coated all the friction areas with dry graphite spray then it worked easier. I got mine from Snyders. CarlG, I like that one, looks like you could use a 1/2" air ratchet on it.
