Harbor freight coil spring compressors/ beware!

I'm used to shitting myself... like when the strut assembly explodes in your face while removing it from the vehicle because it's been internally broken.

No thanks on the screw type spring compressors. Lucky for me I work in a garage with the right one for the job. Even for my side jobs I make them wait for for the next day. Then take the strut to work and do it there. Haven't found one this thing can't do. And if I get a more permanet garage (own vs rent) I will get one of these. However even though it will do the coilovers on the T900 Silverado(07 and up) it is not easy and GM sent out a special compressor for those trucks.
