[QUOTE=YNVDIZW124;2549526]I used a spring compressor with an impact wrench on low pressure, no problems..
Sounds like you overpaid.....
I got the Klann and am happy with the tool and the price. The knock off looked inferior, and at the time ( a few years ago) it was alot more $$ than the unit you linked on ebay. The instructions state in bold, never to use an impact wrench, good thing cause I don't have one. It's quite easy with a ratchet. Knock off or Klann, I wouldn't use any other other tool for the job.

lots of cars
Didn't mean to sound like an ***..sorry...
Yeah it does say not to use an impact wrench but it takes forever with just a socket and a wrench. I used it with a lot of care not to damage the tool and i've used it on several cars. I got it on ebay for about $125 used but re sold it after I used it and it was properly working. To me it was pretty good quality since it did the job. I had to borrow one again for another car and did use an impact wrench and nothing happened to it either. Maybe next time i would use an air wrench...
