Default Anyone know where I can buy a real spring compressor?

My birthday is coming up this Friday and I am desperately trying to find something for my wife to buy me. I am looking for a spring compressor setup that mounts to the wall, like you see in shops. They have a giant as turn handle, are damn near indestructible, and are much safer than the spring mounted units. Additionally, you dont need two set of hands. I have searched and cannot find anything. Anyone got a lead?

Not sure your feelings on used tools, but a couple years ago when I was considering getting one, there were some on eBay for considerably less.

I ended up buying a set of the Craftsman individual bar compressors - actually find them quite useful since I can use them on the car, instead of having to remove the strut assembly every time.

Kevin, thanks and thanks. 750.00 is more than I am willing to spend. I guess I will search the flea bay as well as local shops that are closing.

Check to see if any of the stores in your area are replacing theirs or see if one of the DM's can get you a source...company discount? (BTW the elipses are JUST for YOU. I know how you love them)
