Default Some thoughts.

I use the Branick for virtually 95% of the applications. It's by far the most versatile of the 3. It's fast, easy to use, and very safe and secure.

IIRC the RTI compressor comes with 3 different sized jaws. It works great for some of those on-car applications like the B6 Rear, and some other applications. It's a bit heavy to carry around, but in a pinch it'll do just about everything my Branick does.

The Sir Tools model I have is pretty exclusive for MBenz cars. W202 and W210 front springs require this compressor. Pulls the springs out in just a couple of minutes. By far is the least used compressor I have.

Default I hear ya.. I don't tend to play with overly stiff springs, and the ones I have played with...

didn't require a spring compressor to mount because they were so short..
