Ratchet straps? They can be a mare though.
What's it for? ...out of interest.

Depending on how strong the spring is, several exhaust clamps might do the job. If you're carefull.

need to change springs on a mb w210 3.2 diesel,as you can imagine the springs are very beefy, thats why i need the correct tool, i remembered how helpful this forum was when i had my 2.5 tractor

In that case, forget both suggestions: you do need the proper tool.

Agreed. Unfortunately can't help though. :(

My thumbnail still grows in three pieces after I smashed my thumb to pieces when one slipped. Its called learning the hard way... I still use them but with a great deal more caution.
