SuperSprings Installation Tools
Purpose-built SuperSprings tools help a workshop handle the clamping needed for compatible spring installations. Choose the tool by the spring application and its instructions, not merely the fastest-looking clamp. Appropriate common tools may work for some jobs, but repeated installations can justify dedicated equipment.
SuperClamp for light and medium duty
The SuperClamp design uses a modified 12-inch Bessey F-Clamp, MorPad swivel head, custom Acme-threaded screw, a nut for pneumatic-impact use and a U-shaped jaw. Those features describe a purpose-built tool, not instructions to modify an ordinary clamp or use an impact tool on an unrelated screw.
AcmeClamp for medium and heavy duty
AcmeClamp uses a heavy-duty U-bolt, steel crossplate and Acme-threaded bolt. Rails on both sides provide a different restraint arrangement from SuperClamp. Consider the exact spring and work requirements instead of treating these designs as identical tools distinguished only by speed.
Hydraulic Clamp for heavy duty
The Hydraulic Clamp design incorporates an 8-ton hydraulic bottle jack in a heavy-duty steel frame. The jack specification is not an invitation to use the installation tool as a general vehicle lift or infer a working rating for every assembled component. Use its actual operating and inspection requirements.
Choose safe workshop practice
Spring clamping stores force and needs appropriate support and restraint. Read both the spring installation and tool instructions, inspect equipment before use and keep people clear of the work area. Do not improvise attachment points or operating procedures from a product description. If the tool or application is uncertain, have a qualified installer identify the required method before work begins.

Frequently asked questions
Can I modify a common clamp to copy SuperClamp?
Do not infer a safe modification procedure from the design description. Use suitable tools and the exact instructions.
Does the 8-ton jack make this a vehicle lifting tool?
No. Use the Hydraulic Clamp only for its documented installation purpose.
