Similarly the spring will decompress rapidly along one axis just make sure none of your body parts are in the way
It is also worth thinking about where you are compressing the spring ie compressing an open spring anywhere near a wall can be bad news.

Being honest once I had the right spring, the job wasn’t too bad at all.

Anyone interested in the Sealey spring compressor for £25 posted in the UK? Payment via paypal
