Default Spring Compressor Anyone?

Anyone in the greater Seattle area have a set of spring compressor I can borrow? I'm assembling my new suspension consisting of Forester Swifts and Forester GR2 struts and the front units would be easier to assemble with a third compressor on there. The few coils on the front springs makes it near impossible to get two compressors to do the job. I'm doing this myself so need to compress the springs down quite a bit to get the strut nut on.

I'm going to hit up the local auto stores too after work but just throwing request out there. I called around earlier today and many stores are out of sets to loan.

I had no issues compressing my WRX Swift and JDM Forester springs in the past but these Foz Swifts have gotten me stuck! There's a first for everything I suppose.
