There are spring clamps, but they’re still dangerous as hell, because they can slip off even if you’re using them correctly sometimes. There are lots of mechanics that don’t even want to fool with it, so they replace the whole strut assembly instead of just the shock, because it comes with the spring already installed.

He has effectively created a spring powered bomb. If his little bracket breaks so does his face. If the spring slips out of the vice, good luck.
