A pair from Amazon 33 bucks, much beefier. Get it in 2 days. I guess that rig worked but 3/8 mild steel rod and 1/8 inch hooks is dicey. I'd use 1/4 inch steel instead for the hooks if I had to homespun it and make 2 of them, preferably 3. Old thread I know.
The only problem is you didn't tell us how you made it haha jokes jokes. Good idea as long as you use spring steel or tool steel for grapples I suppose.... Im no engineer at all but I'd presume that a non tensile threads pitch would stretch a considerable amount. So people want to be careful what grade of steel the brooker/threaded rod and guage selected is. Or after some use especially with heavy duty springs. The threads pitch angle could be sheared off along with the but material which is never as strong. So the failure would be of a nut ultimately if I'm correct. Which would stretch under the load of the flex. And if a nut stripped out and shot off you could get hit with the combination of whatever the spring rates load is at whatever the compressed position. Muliplied by however many turns you have added up in total being compressed. So at a guess that could be a total force of something like several hundred kilograms of force. Maybe someone who is an actual qualified mechanical engineer could chime in and I'll stand corrected no worries... Id say it's safe to use on light guage springs. But by no means anything thicker than 18mm perhaps. Definitely not rear springs that are progressive wound. Or any spring that is classed as 'heavy duty'
Brother it's just a idea 💡 With heavy duty springs u have to go even more heavy duty stuff to make this happen and even put 2 or 3 sides not just 1 side and compress it
Actually made some from angle iron and all threads, made 2 of them for my Honda cm400 shocks, works perfect
Dangerous!
Don't do it. Only one spring compressor. They come in pairs but best to put 3 min.
Yes I know that depends on the torque of the spring and this is just an example bro u need more if u compress even heavier spring
Do u sell this??
Very good 🎉🎉
My brother in Christ, they are 20 bucks at harbor freight. Save your time and money and go buy a set.
Very nice
Thanks
Good job 👍
Thanks bro

I was thinking of making something like this. Nice to see it will actually work. Very helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks
Nice
I need a compressor like this (single teeth)
You may need some new shocks and springs buddy
Awesome
Dangerous, always need to use 2 spring compressors never one. Better safe than sorry
with smaller (plastic) rope are more safe,this here could be broken
Yeeeah....don't do this.
