Cliplanyard Hydraulic Shock Absorber Removal Tool, Ball Head Suspension Strut Spreader, Universal Car Strut Shock Absorber Sheephorn Separator 5.0 – 11.5 mm (Black)

We bought this for our friend who is a keen mechanic. The tool is great and really handy to use. A good price and really small 👍🏻

Well worth the money saves lots of time and swearing

Bent after first use

works a treat no more struggling with struts

Perfect

The pin snapped at first use. Right size for tight spaces but goot just to spread soft metal. I have used it to spread the wheel hub to get the ball joint out.

For the price it’s good works but I wouldn’t expect it to move anything big

For years ive used a thick tipped chisle to tap into strut pinch collars to get them to relieve enough tension so i can then tap the hub off the strut.Sometimes this works out whilst other times the chisel with fly out as im tapping down the hub or i can get enough spread.This little tool makes life a little bit easier as it stays out of the way and you can better control how much spread you need.The spreader fingers are a little thick mind you so you may struggle with some shocks getting it in and started but i think itll easily with stand some hammer love taps to get it in there and started.Well thought out solution at a reasonable price.
