Review on 🛠️ Enhanced OTC 4573 Universal Overhead Valve Spring Compressor for Improved SEO by Allen Hart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good construction, easy to use

Regarding another reviewer's comment that he "softened his hand", agree I don't necessarily agree, having used it myself. It was easy to use and didn't hurt. However, I think it really depends on how strong your feathers are. If you're stripping 40-year-old feathers, it's easy. If you have springs holding a rad hydraulic roller cam, you may have to struggle. I was trying to decide whether to buy this or an over-the-counter product with a large clip. I chose this because it was cheaper. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone working on their own personal project. 5/23/2015 Update: I bought a Pro-Form Leverage Spring Compressor. It's a lot faster than that. If you're on a budget this will work fine, but if you can afford it the leverage of Pro-Form will save you a lot of time.

Pros
  • Legs are designed with built in offset to compensate for spring wind - keeps tool upright and stable during use
Cons
  • No instructions
