Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Orion Motor Tech Solid Valve Spring Compressor Kit: Efficient C-Clamp Tool for Automotive, Motorcycle, ATV, Car & Small Engine Service by Christian Byrd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked very well good price

Used to reinstall valve springs on a 1987 Nissan 300zx VG30DE engine. This tool worked really well and I wish I had bought it before I started disassembly as the cheap overhead spring compression tool and homemade magnets in the socket solutions didn't work very well. I was a bit worried about damaging the valve surface with the set screw so I made some plywood spacers for the intake and exhaust valves. It worked well. As mentioned in other reviews, the bar that fit into the lag screw/threaded bar had a tendency to slip out but was a bit awkward. We didn't have any issues with the tool frame flex as others have mentioned. They may have changed the design as one of the pictures looked like it was made from tubular steel while the one we received was made from bar stock. My son and I don't do much car work so we were looking for an inexpensive tool. it worked. That fits the bill.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • poorly thought out
