He shipped the tool out to me very quickly and everything was quality made. It is only $30 for the tool, and then $50 if you want the compressor fitting.

A buddy of mine that is helping with the build fell in love the first time he used it. I gave the tool to him just for helping me out so much

Agreed, Im using the crane tool right now and I love it. Even on the taller springs all I do is push it down a tad to engage the nut and im in there.
