You can go into any Autozone store and use the "loan a tool" program. All you need to do give them a deposit (i think it's around $50) and when your done using it just return the compressor and get your deposit money back.
got one industrial one if you need to borrow...just gotta come over to the house...

FWIW for many aftermarket springs you don't need one at all. They're short enough that just pushing down with one hand (or a friend) will allow you to get the nut started.

Helps when your taking the stock springs off though, easier than having to find all the nuts/bolts/bushings after the tophat flys off. hah.

^^Oh yeah, dat. 
I just throw a few zip ties or some para cord on the spring with some weight on it. Then take the nut off. Be sure to use HD zips. 
I'm too lazy to go get free tools at Checker.
