Is it worth it to have a spring compressor?

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

I have that puppy, it weight at least 20lbs btw and is virtually
indestructible
it is a little awkward to use (its really BIG)and with h&R Sports it was a
bit of figuring out the springs slipping into the hooks, but once I figured
it out, it works flawlessly, I boutgh it because a) sale price b) I have
trucks that will need springs changed.

=>I'll second that! The only thing with the cheap ass (tm) variety is there
=>are more parts to loose and to keep in order to do the job.

=>I like that expensive one though.
