You usually won't need it, unless you're putting stock springs on or something...never the less a good tool to have, I have one

Great tool to have when you're changing struts and springs. We use it all the time.

Im sorry but after 5 springs i had to change on diff cars, i never used a spring compressor. I just take the head nut of the top and the cap just popps off and the new springs go in easily.

Even when i put my stock springs back on, on the s2k, i never had to use a compressor, i just pushed down on the cap and spring and let a friend put the nut on top.

To me, this is kinda useless.
