Hello All,
I'd like to have a setup at home for changing out shocks/etc.
I'm looking for an inexpensive solution for a Strut Vise.
I've done an McPherson strut change in the past without a vise and
hurt myself, so I'm trying to do it right this time (within reason).
Is a pipe yoke (like the following) sufficient?

If protecting the paint/metal is an issue, wrapping emery cloth
(rough side out) around the strut before clamping?
Any drawbacks with this, or other ideas/suggestions?
I'd prefer to keep it affordable.
