    Several metalsmiths, gunsmiths, and machinists are stomped on this tool. Who out there might be able to help me solve a dilemma regarding its use/name?

      When you need to depress some springs you can do it several different ways, you can talk mean and nasty to the spring of you could use a tool like this that's called a spring depresser.

      My "impression" from lug nuts "depresser" is that he is thinking of coil springs? Isn't this "C" clamp used to spread flat leaf springs for lubricating or adding a silencer pad between two springs?
