TUSK Motorcycle Shock Spring Compressor Set — Pair with Steel Case, Chromoly Hooks & Stainless Body, 17mm/3/8" drive

The TUSK Motorcycle Shock Spring Compressor Set is a paired tool kit that safely compresses and releases motorcycle and light‑ATV shock springs using hardened chromoly hooks and a stainless steel body.

Changing or servicing rear shocks requires controlled spring compression — this TUSK set gives you a durable, repeatable solution. Built with chromoly steel hooks and a compression bolt for robust clamping force plus a corrosion‑resistant stainless outer body, the kit accepts a 17 mm wrench or a 3/8" ratchet for simple operation. The compressors are sold as a matched pair and come in a compact steel storage case for secure transport and organization.

How do I use the compressors safely on my shock springs?

Always mount one compressor on each side of the coil and tighten both in small, alternating turns to keep the spring centered and balanced. Keep the assembly stable while compressing and never work under a spring supported only by a single compressor.

• Place compressors opposite each other on the coil, engaging hooks fully.
• Alternate tightening by small increments to compress evenly.
• Use the 17 mm wrench or 3/8" ratchet as recommended; avoid impact tools.
• Follow manufacturer guidance and wear eye protection and gloves.

What materials and drive options does this tool offer?

The working components that contact the spring — both hooks and the compression bolt — are constructed from hardened chromoly steel for strength, while the main tubular body is stainless steel to resist corrosion. The bolt head is machined to fit a 17 mm wrench or a common 3/8" ratchet, offering flexibility depending on your shop setup.

• Chromoly hooks and bolt for heavy use and fatigue resistance.
• Stainless outer body to reduce rust and extend tool life.
• 17 mm hex and 3/8" ratchet compatibility for hand tools or ratchet drives.
• Sold in pairs to allow balanced compression work.

Which vehicles and springs are these compressors suitable for?

The set is designed for motorcycle shocks and light‑ATV coil springs; it’s sized and rated for typical two‑wheel and light off‑road suspension springs. These compressors are not intended for heavy UTV, truck, or large industrial springs where higher forces and different tooling are required.

• Ideal for most motorcycle rear shock springs and many light‑ATV coils.
• Not recommended for heavy UTV or truck springs — use specialty tools there.
• Check spring diameter and coil spacing against the hook reach before use.
• Sold as a pair with a steel storage case for transport and storage.

Who is this for? The TUSK Shock Spring Compressor Set is aimed at motorcycle owners, independent mechanics, and small shop technicians who perform routine shock service or spring swaps and need a reliable, reusable tool. If you work on sportbikes, cruisers, dual‑sport machines, or light off‑road ATVs and want a corrosion‑resistant compressor with practical drive options and a storage case, this set covers those needs. Avoid using these compressors on heavy truck or UTV springs — for those applications, choose purpose‑built heavy‑duty spring tools. When used as directed — two compressors, alternating turns, proper personal protective equipment — this kit simplifies spring removal and installation while keeping the job controlled and repeatable.
