Default Want to borrow Crane spring compressor

*** Got what I needed, thanks ***

I figure there are a number of people here who purchased the spring compressor and used it once. I would like to help you out by paying to borrow the tool and help me by not having to pay full price for a single use. It will fit in a USPS flat rate box ($8.75 in USA-48) which I will pay plus an additional $25 for the use. Then I will use the tool and return it again in a USPS flat rate box. One trip to the Post Office and you profit $25.

The spring compressor I'm looking for is Crane 99472-1 as seen here

Obviously if anything were to happen to it, it would be replaced by me and shipped new in the box to you.

PM me and we'll get it started. Thank you.

Have you ever looked at tims valve spring tool? for what you are paying to borrow one you could buy ur own. He makes one to fit the cowl for the springs in the back to make it easier. I bought it myself and have used it on prc dual springs rated for a .660 lift and it work flawlessly.
