I once bought a coil spring compressor tool in Bangkok from Krieng Thai Watana Group (KTW) was around 1,000 THB, see their website for more information http://www.ktw.co.th

They're located at 634 Rama 2 Road, Bangmod, Jomthong, Bangkok 10150

Telephone 02-811-7444

Email is probably useless for a quick answer so I advice to just visit them, they have English speaking sales staff.

Twas a time when folks made these things ourselves. Times do change!

Heres what i use of course it not near as expensive as what you want

No sweat, where's your sense of adventure.

Seriously though, I have been using them for all sorts of things for decades, good ones are incredibly strong.

Wouldn't do it on a shock stronger than I could scrunch down with my own weight though, and I'd be using @8 pulling them up evenly.
