That looks like the exact one I used to do my tein springs. The only difference is that I picked mine up at harbor freight for ~$12
If you don't have an impact gun to tighten it up, you're in for a good workout, even with a long ratchet.

autozone rented one to me with just a $50 deposit. I would do that unless you plan on taking your springs on and off often for some reason...

NFW, why waste your $$ on something you may never use again and could barrow for free? Spend that $ on something you can always use like a hydraulic floor jack, air compressor or detail kit that includes a orbital buffer. Let common sense prevail.... You do know what that is?

I've used them at least once a month for over a year out of the shop...
