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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality tool

Good quality tool at a good price. I used it to rebuild a Honda motorcycle head. This made the job quick and easy. I would recommend this to anyone rebuilding heads for smaller engines. I can't speak to its effectiveness for valve operation on an engine like a V-8, although I don't see why it wouldn't work with that head size; I just haven't done it yet. It is well built and NOT made from hollow steel tubing like many other spring compressors available in the same price range. This is not a cheap tool that will bend with use. This one has a cast steel frame (like the big C clamp).

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Weight
