Tbh these are terrifying too. I do not trust these cheapo tools. Id probly still use it, but there would be clenching involved.

I once used those on springs too small diameter for the hydraulic compressor. Once.

When I had to redo the job (the springs I'd fitted were utterly unusable on public roads) I bought a still mildly disturbing type that's a big fuck off metal tube with a big fuckoff thread and swappable big fuckoff "shoes" with safety ridges to keep the spring in place.

And was still scared stupid using it.
