Review on πŸ’ͺ Heavy Duty Valve Spring Compressor: OTC 4842 for Robust Compression Power by Dustin Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for removing a VW valve spring

My two sons and I are restoring a 2002 VW Pipe Buggy. Before this c-clamp compressor, I bought an OTC universal spring compressor (the one that grabs the spring with hooks); it didn't work for VW heads.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
