Just go to autozone or any place like that. They rent them out for free. You pay like $54 and then they just refund the money when you return it.

If you are trying to get them on your strut, just get a heavy-set or strong/athletic person to push down on the spring. Its free if you have a friend like that!

Most shops have large spring comressors that are safer if you're worried about that, but if you've ever used them before, the ones you can rent from autozone work just fine. Just never point either end at yourself or any of your friends... or anything expensive for that matter... :)

Take it to a military base and use the hobby shop. It's like $3.25 an hour.
