OEMTOOLS Strut Spring Compressor 37036 — Heavy-Duty Coil Spring Tool with Forged Hooks & Hardened Fastener

OEMTOOLS 37036 Strut Spring Compressor is a heavy-duty coil spring compression kit that safely contracts and secures strut springs for cartridge replacement and suspension service.

When you need to remove or install strut cartridges, a dependable spring compressor is essential. The OEMTOOLS 37036 is built for workshop and home-garage use, combining forged hooks, a hardened center fastener, and safety latches to hold springs securely while you work. It includes a compact carrying case and clear instructions so you can set up and operate the tool with confidence.

How does this compressor make cartridge replacement easier?

The compressor shortens the spring’s free length so the strut cartridge can be slipped out or seated without excessive force. Its design grips the coil firmly and draws the coils together uniformly, reducing the chance of spring shift during service.

• Threaded rods with 9-inch thread length for deep travel.
• Forged hooks that bite into coils for steady gripping.
• Hardened center fastener to withstand repeated torque.
• Clear, step-by-step instructions included for correct use.

Is this compressor robust enough for heavy-duty springs?

Yes. Components exposed to the highest loads are reinforced: the hooks are forged and the central fastener is hardened to resist bending or deformation. Those features help ensure longevity even under demanding use.

• Forged metal hooks for improved strength and durability.
• Hardened main fastener for better torque resistance.
• Precision threads to distribute load evenly across the tool.

What safety features help keep the spring secure during compression?

The tool uses positive locking latches and well-shaped hooks to lock the coils and prevent sudden release. By stabilizing the spring and preventing lateral movement, these features reduce risk during removal or installation of strut cartridges.

• Safety latches that lock the hook position on the coil.
• Even, controlled compression with threaded adjustment.
• Clear usage instructions to minimize setup mistakes.

How portable and easy to store is this compressor kit?

The kit arrives in a molded storage case sized to keep all parts organized and transportable. The case protects components from damage and makes it simple to bring the compressor to the vehicle or store it between jobs.

• Compact, sturdy carrying case for transport and storage.
• All pieces nest in the case to prevent loss and damage.
• Lightweight enough for one-person handling around the shop.

Who is this for? The OEMTOOLS 37036 is aimed at mechanics, body-shop technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who work on suspension struts and need a dependable, heavy-duty compressor. If you perform cartridge replacements or frequent strut service, this set offers the strength, safety features, and portability required for professional or hobbyist use.
