I purchased the Coil Spring Compressor. I have 4 Mercedes so I fugured I would use it. And I usually like having my own tools.
I knew I would need it twice to do the 82 300TD and I intend to keep my 88 560SL forever so If I rented it 4 times at $100 a pop. I figured I would just buy it and then I can do repairs at my leisure. The compressor also fits the 65 Mustang. I don't think the Mustang will need work for the next 10-15 years though. We just did a complete rebuilt on it.

Colleyville is in the Metroplex. Just west of the DFW airport.
