I know you guys perhaps do this without one but I'd like to try and play
it safe when I dismantle the B's front suspension and remove the coil
spring with a compressor.

Now I have a reputable tool manufacturer's catalogue showing three
variants of a coil compressor with the following data:

variant1: spread: 110-180mm, reach: 200mm
variant2: spread: 110-180mm, reach 300mm
variant3: spread: 110-180mm, reach 400mm

Could you please explain these two terms "spread" and "reach" so I can
decide which is the correct one for the job?
