Zoomtools

Kits for a whole corner of the car

What they actually do

Sets assembled around a task. The front-end kit carries five adjustable separators; the extractor works by hand or by compressed air; the spring compressor is a fork design for enclosed struts.

The advantage of that approach

You buy for a job rather than for a tool, which suits someone working on an unfamiliar car. Five adjustable separators raise the odds that one of them fits.

The cost of it

Individual specifications. None of these sets publishes jaw openings, spans or rated loads, and on the spring compressor in particular that is a real gap.

The recommendation

Good where coverage matters more than measurement. Where the tool has to be matched to a published figure — a spring rating, a joint size — a brand that states it is the safer purchase.
