Ebay spring compressor safe to use?????

I desperately need to replace rear springs on my W203 - both are broken :-(((
Tried to rent the compressor with no luck. Due to prohibitively expensive better-quality tools (Baum = $749, Klann = $890), I am considering buying ebay copy of this compressor, can be had for $200 on ebay.
Are they any good, especially in regard to safety??? Klann has a safety margin of 5 or so - max load 25,000N, breaking point 120,000N. Anybody knows how are the ebay compressors faring????

Please please anybody????
