New features include forged locking jaws as well as larger pads and offsets to clamp onto and compress springs even tighter than before. To provide additional strength, stability and safety, the compression arms are thick 5/8-inch steel. Locking trunnions allow for optimal stability during spring compression. In addition, arm-locking rings eliminate the need for tools to adjust. The 6637-ST Strut Tamer II Extreme includes a stand with wheels for moving easily around the shop.
