Draper Expert Coil Spring Compressor Kit (8 Piece)

For professional-grade coil spring compression across a wide range of vehicles and spring types, look no further than the Draper Expert Coil Spring Compressor Kit (N1000B). This comprehensive 8-piece kit is engineered for both MacPherson strut coil springs and conical springs, with interchangeable jaws and a built-in safety overload system that sets it apart from basic compressor sets.

Broad Vehicle Compatibility with Interchangeable Jaws

The N1000B is designed to work across an impressive range of vehicle manufacturers, including Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Saab, Subaru, Toyota, Vauxhall, Volvo and VW. This wide compatibility is made possible by three pairs of interchangeable yokes, each covering a different diameter range:

• Small jaws: 65–125mm diameter
• Medium jaws: 88–160mm diameter
• Large jaws: 126–212mm diameter

Swapping between jaw sets is straightforward, making this a single kit that handles the majority of vehicles you're likely to encounter – whether in a busy professional workshop or a well-equipped home garage.

MacPherson Strut and Conical Spring Capability

Unlike basic compressor sets that are limited to standard coil springs, the N1000B includes an extension bracket with hex key that extends its capability to conical springs – the type commonly found on performance and European vehicles. This dual-purpose functionality makes the N1000B a genuinely versatile investment for any workshop tackling a broad range of suspension work.

Safety Overload System for User Protection

Working with compressed coil springs carries serious risk if the wrong tool is used. The N1000B addresses this with a dedicated safety overload pin built into the compressor, which prevents dangerous over-compression and protects the user from sudden spring release. Combined with yoke protectors that cushion contact with the spring coils, this kit is designed to keep both the user and the vehicle components safe throughout the process.

Professional Compressor with 21mm Hex Drive

The heart of the kit is a robust 453mm compressor with a 21mm hex drive and an impressive maximum opening of 300mm, comfortably accommodating the full range of jaw sizes and a wide variety of spring lengths. The 21mm hex drive is compatible with standard sockets and ratchets for efficient, controlled compression.

Supplied in a Sturdy Blow-Mould Carry Case

All eight components are neatly housed in a blow-moulded plastic carry case with display sleeve, keeping every jaw set, bracket, and the compressor itself organised, protected, and easy to locate when needed.

Why Choose the Draper Expert N1000B?

Most basic spring compressor sets are limited to a single jaw size and a single spring type – fine for occasional use on one vehicle, but inadequate for a workshop handling a variety of makes and models. The Draper Expert N1000B bridges that gap with a professional-specification kit that covers conical and MacPherson springs, thirteen major vehicle brands, and three jaw size ranges, all underpinned by a genuine safety overload system. For any mechanic who takes suspension work seriously, the N1000B delivers the versatility, safety, and reliability the job demands.
