Before you send out your order, you might want to check with the fellow at this link.

He has what he claims is a MB spring tool for $535.00.

Don, that is the SirTools compressor, not the Klann. It works but is not nearly as good as the Klann unit. The OE Mercedes compressor that you would buy from the MB dealer is a Klann. MUCH better design - trust me, I've used both...!

The spring compressors have left the wherehouse on the way to my house, then I will ship them to the individuals. I just wanted to keep you posted-haha.

Hey guys,

I recieved all seven spring compressors today. I plan to get some boxes and package them up tomorrow and also have them sent out tomorrow or friday, but Im hoping for tomorrow.

I will upload some pics. Please forgive the quality of the digital camera, it is a pretty old sony floppy drive one. I typically take pitures with an SLR camera.

Thanks,

These things are so easy to use, you'll be pulling springs out just for the fun of it. I can pull my front springs out of my W124 and change the rubber shim/pad in 10-15 minutes per side, half hour for both. Awesome tool. Everyone who got one will LOVE it.

Neil, have a safe trip to FL... you driving the cars out or having them shipped?

Hey Guys,

When I put in the tracking numbers into my excel spreadsheet, it took off the first zero infront of the number. So Add a zero (0) in the front and the tracking number will work.

Sorry about that.
