FAQs
What type of springs can this tool be used on?
This tool is primarily designed for automotive springs found in exhaust systems, brakes, and headlights, as well as other similar applications where a hook mechanism is present.
What are the dimensions of the tool?
The overall length is 92 mm (3.62 inches), the greatest width is 48 mm (1.89 inches), and the diameter of the tip is 3 mm (0.12 inches).
Is the tool suitable for heavy-duty truck springs?
While robust, the tool's 3 mm tip diameter and overall size are best suited for lighter to medium-duty automotive springs. Heavy-duty springs may require larger, specialized tools.
How do I clean and maintain the tool?
Wipe clean with a cloth after use and store in a dry place. Periodically inspect for damage. Light oil can be applied to prevent rust if stored for long periods or in humid conditions.
What material is the tool made from?
It is made from heat-treated hardened alloy steel with a powder-coated finish for durability and corrosion resistance.
Can this tool be used for installing springs as well as removing them?
Yes, the leverage provided by the T-handle can also assist in carefully stretching and seating springs during installation.
Troubleshooting
Tool slips off the spring hook.
Ensure the tip is securely engaged in the spring's hook. For springs with very large eyelets, this tool might not provide sufficient grip; consider alternative tools for such applications.
Difficulty applying enough leverage.
Verify you are using the T-handle correctly for maximum grip. Ensure the spring is not excessively corroded or seized, which might require additional penetrating lubricant.
Corrosion appears on the tool.
Clean the affected area with a soft brush and apply a light coat of oil. If the powder coating is significantly damaged, touch it up with a suitable metal paint to prevent further rust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This tool requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of the package.
Compatibility: The Spring Hook Puller is designed to work with standard automotive springs that have an accessible hook or loop. Its effectiveness depends on the size and accessibility of the spring eyelet. It is particularly well-suited for springs with diameters up to approximately 3 mm at the tip engagement point.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent rust, even with its corrosion-resistant coating.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the tool for any signs of damage, such as cracks or excessive wear on the T-handle or hook tip. Ensure the powder coating remains intact to protect the underlying steel.
