Did you mean the spring compressor when you referring to the struts tool ?

If so, you can find them at the local advance auto parts...the brand is arm pro if my memory serve me right :)

Thanks, I was advised to speak to the parts store- in fact found the tool that I need at one of the CanadianTire outlets - the problem is that it is difficult to find it on site (always rented to someone) and they do not make reservations (( (which is unfair)

Thinking about spending 30 bucks and bying one from ebay

Its a tool you wont regret owning...

However, if you're like me and have friends who mod their cars, it'll get borrowed a lot

just bought the cheapest one (30 bucks shipped to canada)

i like the lower hook .. in case the top one has issues with my coils I can still manage it (have couple ideas upfront)

Ha, those spring compressors look almost identical to the ones from Harbor Freight:
