Review on πŸ› οΈ Enhanced OTC 4573 Universal Overhead Valve Spring Compressor for Improved SEO by Brett Robinson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Sturdy but slightly oversized with jaw placement

I have used this on a 4 cylinder LD9 with table valve train, really nice to have. Anyone complaining about their bad hands should take a nap and maybe have a bottle, the pen wasn't a problem, it won't hurt a decent pair of working class hands. The only problem I had was that the jaws were too far apart even for a small 4 cylinder engine. I put it in a vise and bent it a bit, to be honest it was a tough set of metal to bend so they'll last a while. The only thing I can think of is adjusting the metal rod that helps hold it in place and making it a little tighter as it slipped and twisted when I was just about to start twisting the tool.

Pros
  • Spring loaded jaws easily grip and compress valve springs
Cons
  • No power
