Snap-on compressor

It looks pretty good but I'd like to hear if anyone has success with it.

Yes works good for single springs. Works like **** for double springs and single with dampers.

I've used it on Manley single springs and the hot cam springs. Cannot comment on double or dampened springs. The plastic **** is pretty useless imho so I just use it with a stuby snap-on 3/8" drive ratchet and 5/8" socket.

Yeah, I thought it looked good for single springs. Anyone know of a really good one that works well for both double and single springs?
