Ian,

Hi Ian, They are not carrier spring compressors, at least not the Australian type,we use a threaded type and they do a great job, regarding compressing the track to insert the pin there is no need to do this as the track winch pulls the pieces of track together the ends that need to be joined are quite loose and its very easy to flex these two end up and down by hand and its just easy to slip in the pin
