Would you trust this spring compressor for changing an X5 strut?

I bought this tool awhile ago in 2017 and it's worked great for a variety of other vehicles, but I'm guessing the X5 spring force is higher than anything I've changed previously. Would you trust it? I assume "GoPlus" is just a generic tool brand. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017H1AWMK...d_asin_title_1

Hmmm, the link comes up as a grandpa beige pleather swivel recliner chair!

I rented a coil spring compressor kit from Auto Zone when I did the rears on my wife’s Grand Cherokee a few years ago.

This is the exact style BMW uses. I would be ok using it.

I would be reasonably careful.

Looks better than the one I used when changing my (blown) front struts...

I rented ones similar to these when I did mine many years ago. I was very careful as well.

Heck ya! Watching someone else do it!

I'm too scared. I replace the entire strut.
