Beware! JTC 1801 coil spring remover threaded rod broke! - help!

On my third coil spring (W126). Did the back two ok, no problems. removed the front spring (8 coils just like FSM) and loosening tool to remove from spring when about halfway heard a pop sound. Now the tool will not compress or loosen! The rod just turns freely like it broke or is stripped! The tool is stuck inside of the removed spring and I can not get it to extend to remove metal plates!

Purchased tool new $199; Steve at sg-motorsports, ebay/paypal (emailed and left message to him). This is a new tool and have only used on three springs!!

Beware of these chinese (Tawain) crappy tools!!! No official JTC website or warranty details found on a google search!
