Summit, Thunder Racing, Texas Speed, to name a few unless someone local will lone you one. Where are you located? The Crane Cams one is the most preferred.

SEARS, but go ahead and get 3 or more of them because you will brake a couple of them while swaping springs.

Tim's is great, I have 2-3 of them laying around, but nothing compares to the Crane tool. Absolutely positively not even close. Crane tools cut swap time by at least 50% or better in some cases. It's worth the $ IMO.

My Tim's compressors spend more time getting loaned out these days than used in my shop.

Agreed it does take a while using Tims... but its a great econo option for guys.

DO NOT BUY THE OTC SPRING TOOL FROM SUMMIT!!!

IT SLIPS OFF A COMPRESSED SPRING AND THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO YOU AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU!!!

I speak from experience. Unfortunately.
