Hi all,

I'm to the point where I need to compress my die spring struts on my double eagle project. I think I can just make a tool and do this, but I wanted to see if there is something cheap already made for this task I can use. Or perhaps a really easy way to do it that everyone is doing that I just have not found?

If I have to make a tool I will probably end up making a frame with bolt that I can tighten and pull down on flanges. Just seems like there has to be an easier way.

Appreciate any pointers anyone has!
