OEMTOOLS 27036 Strut Spring Compressor

The OEMTOOLS 27036 is a MacPherson strut spring compressor built for professional shops and home garages. It compresses most common spring sizes to allow safe removal and installation of strut cartridges or complete assemblies. Forged hooks and a hardened centre screw provide durability for repeated use. The kit ships in a sturdy blow-moulded case for organised storage.

Who This Tool Suits

Technicians and DIYers who service MacPherson strut suspensions will find the broad contact plates and detent pins lock the spring securely during compression. The design speeds up strut cartridge replacement and assembly repair without requiring a wall-mounted unit. Shops that primarily work on coil-over or multi-link designs needing a different clamping style should consider other tool types.

Broad Spring Contact with Detent Pins

The wide contact surface distributes force evenly across the coil while built-in detent pins engage the spring wire to prevent slippage under load. This locking mechanism is the key safety feature that decides whether the compressor will hold a given spring securely during strut service. Verify that your spring diameter and wire thickness fit within the compressor's jaw range before purchase.
