Thanks.
Yep. Here is one listed on ebay right now.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Strut-Coil-Spring-Compressor-For-Mercedes-Benz-1801_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3a557282ebQQitemZ250541671147QQptZMotorsQ5fAutomotiveQ5fTools

I contacted this company (then know as Konic Tools, I believe) and asked them if I could get the ebay price at their retail store. They agreed, I paid them cash, and 1 hour later I had pulled my front springs. Very simple to use and stores away nicely in the plastic case.

Here's a pic of the type I bought. It is a JTC 1801 model.
