I just bought a coil compressor tool to put new struts in. I've never used one before but it looks pretty straight forward. The problem I am having is the hooks being too big to fit between the coils. Is there a coil compressor better suited to fit these honda coils? I have a pic of the one I bought:

Looks just like the set I got.
Had to remove the hook/blocks from the shaft and kind of thread it around the coil to get it where I wanted. Then screwed the shaft back onto it and go to work.
Will take forever if you don't have air tools. But it gets the job done.
First time I used mine all I had was a 12v impact driver. It would help with spinning the shaft quickly but didn't have the torque for the heavy compression work.
