Spring Compressor

How'do folks

I helped a friend change a front top mount bearing on a Renault Laguna.
It's the first time i've had to use a Spring Compressor - luckily my friend had borrowed a Spring Compressor

I've read of folks having issues compressing springs for the 75/ZT

Part of the reason why i changed the complete front Strut Assemblies on my car when a Spring broke.

Surely no one has had issues with compressing Springs using this type of Spring Compressor ?

I assume anyone having issues with our cars is using those small Spring Compressors that require 2 or 3 to be used ?

from my experience doing this - I would not have been as comfortable using those

Paul.
