I tried one similar to this with no luck. maybe if I could have gotten the ears closer to the ends, but I was not able to compress enough to reinstall the spring and still get the compressor off of the spring. I bought the cheapo klann copy and it works very well. I had to skim maybe 1/32 from the diameter of the upper tower hole to get it in and out.
