Default SLP Spring Compressor Tool,Good or Bad??

Has anyone used the tool. Does it work just as good as any other tool or is it junk. It doesn't seem too expensive but didn't want to buy something that will give me problems.

I didn't know they had one. Is it like this one?



I have the more tool and it's worked out okay. The one above seems much better though.

Yeah...I have the more tool and am thinking of getting the crane one cause the more one is made out of light aluminum that's wearing quite fast.
