Is there a mini Mac spring compressor

My old MacPherson strut spring compressors and those I "borrowed" from a parts store have grabbers too wide to allow the insert to slide between them. Is there one made for the small springs of a Civic.

are we talking about a 2001-2005 civic ??? if so then the stock springs are under very low compression and don't need spring compressors.

I bought the cheap ones at Harbor Freight and was able to get them to fit ok. Had to put the strut in the spring before compressing them though.
