Which spring compressors?

[Tesla]

The next tool I'd like to add to my arsenal is a set of spring compressors.

Can somebody please recommend something ideal for the home mechanic that'll not get too much use.

Thanks.

Thanks guys, what do you think a local garage would charge if I took in the removed spring/shock assemblies? I have read some horror stories on these cheapo compressors coming off!

I am replacing the front top mounts on my van.

Thanks again for the replies.

What would you expect to pay for a pair of top mounts. Fiat want £75 each!

Eurocarparts want £65 (I think that's for a pair too!).

Ball joints at Fiat are £35! I think GSF are about £5-£10 from reading around but haven't called them yet.
