So I’m going to change all my shocks and want to know what compressor tool users have found to be most suitable. I have the old conventional type but I feel I may need to buy a decent tool for the job. Any suggestions please?
 
After nearly firing a 1 series M Sport spring through the garage roof I gave up on the old style wind-up ones, picked up a floor standing hydraulic compressor which has done two E85s now.

Not the easiest with M-Sport springs (very little to grab onto!), you're more than welcome to borrow it and see if it works for you though.

(Edit: added picture of it)

I’ve got one as well and it’s brilliant for the money. You can use the weight of the car to do it though.
