The Chinese copies of the Klann coil spring compressor require you to enlarge the inside diameter of the hole in the spring perch in order for the top of it to fit through.

When I bought one of the copies and I found would not collapse all of the way and the thrust washer setup was arranged improperly.

You need to take it apart to inspect it and it needs to be well lubed/greased.

The issues with mine in the below thread.
