I made a supreme model using 1/2 acme threaded rod, acme nuts, leveling washers, a thrust bearing and a clevis pin. I've used it several times and it still works as new.
The problem I have with the hardware store variety all thread is that after a few uses the thread gets gummed up, even if I use lots of grease. But this new design should last forever.
(All McMaster-Carr stuff.)

You can make your own with a length of 1/2 in all thread, nuts, large washers and a block of 2x4. I’ve used mine several times.

Anyone know a good brand of coil spring compressor for TR4? I would like to
purchase one, but one I borrowed from local parts place is too big to fit
inside coil spring.
Thanks,

TRF sells a remake of the original factory tool. It can be purchased with two plates - one for TR4s and the other for TR4As. The usual FLAPS ones can be dangerous (the external hook type). This tool uses a threaded rod down the centre of the spring.
