I just got one of these and it does exactly as advertised (and saved the day in terms of a Weed Eater recoil spring that defied any other method I tried to get it compressed). Great tool!
i borrowed one from my friend and it works great and only took 5 seconds. i wish i would have known it existed before i spent hours tying to wind it myself
Ordered and easy coil and it works very well in the clockwise direction. When attempting to use it on the counterclockwise direction, the handle at the top unthreads itself as soon as there is any tension on the center shaft. The included directions don't account for this. Can you help? Great tool, good quality, just need that one little bit of info. Thx
I have never heard of a counter clockwise recoil spring so I am not surprised this happened.
I would try to tighten the handle to the point that is does not easily unscrew or apply thread locker or will a hex nut fit between the handle and the post to lock the handle to the post?
i am in the garden machinery game myself and i must admit this tool keeps me coming back to look at it(mostly when i get them spring rewinds deep into the housing).i try teaching this type of repair to anyone working with us but its the hand cramps that are even too much for me. can i get this tool in the uk?
ATV starters wind counter-clockwise.

$56.90 is too much for a tool I would only use once a year.

Or call the supplier and ask them.

Yes, I think you can. You might have to pay some extra shipping. Call 800-547-9353 and ask Randy
