Default Anyone have a spring compressor?

As the title says, I'm looking for a spring compressor. I got some springs for my daily, and I'm not really looking to spend $50+ to buy something that I'll probably never again use... If anyone has one availible, please let me know. I would only need it for a few hours, and I'm willing to drive wherever to pick it up (preferably northern suburbs, or chicago). Thanks

you can rent one from any auto zone for i think a 20 or 40 deposit. so its Free, as long as you bring it back. otherwise, if you want to drive to Elk Grove, you can use mine.
I thought I could get one at autozone, but when I went there they told me they didn't have any for rent.

I have "rented" them for free from Pep boys, autozone, and Murry's.

Call around, and you can get them. They charge your CC for the cost of the compressor, but they refund you the full cost when you return them.

maybe they were all rented out currently? I'm sure it was a popular weekend for DIY mods with the long weekend for most.
