Another vote for the Crane. Twice as fast as the rest.

Just bought mine from Vinci and did the spring swap this past weekend and had no problem. Very easy.

I haven't used the crane yet, but have used most of the other's that are available.

Given that, I am buying the crane soon, and I believe it will be the last one I will ever need to buy. Seem'd to work awesomely in-car and out.

I've also used the moore tool and nothing else. It worked great! You'll be fine with either the moore tool or cranes tool. Not sure about the rest.
