This tool can be had for much less than $600. Personally, I think it is outrageous that anyone would charge that price for such a simple tool. I guess that if you tack the Mercedes Benz name onto to something you can charge what you like for the item. You could check with Snap On. They have a universal compressor for about $150 or so. I am sure there are other sources for this tool as well. Check this URL. This type of tool will work fine on MBZ springs.

No matter what you fix, there will always be something else to fix..
"Warranty" is just another way of postponing the inevitable.
