I looked around for some of those

But not too hard, my tool budget is deep in the red :-/

Do sockets go up to 19mm? That would be sweet.

Ahh...that brings back memories...

Doesn't it feel like your holding a bomb when you have the springs compressed and you have to move them around? I had an even worse set of compressors than you have - and did have a problem. Of course, I had visions of putting a nice hole in my buddy's garage if the spring ever slipped out - some day I will invest in a nice set of compressors.
