Review on OEMTOOLS 24429 Ford 3-Valve Spring Compressor: Efficient Tool for Ford Valve Spring Compression by Mark Cole

I replaced all the valve seals on my 4.6 (engine off) and it was easy. It wasn't too bad getting used to the two-piece design. It took me 2 valves to get used to it and get used to it. The fact that the tool is tilted and NOT at a 90 degree angle like OTC is a godsend. In fact I ordered OEM and OTC and the OTC got into the top of the camshaft cage and damaged the metal every time I pushed the spring. Well it's a joke! I threw it back in the box and it disappeared. This one didn't hurt anything and was pretty easy to use. I could do it myself, holding the crowbar between my legs so it wouldn't fly away. NOTE: Be careful and make sure the tool is properly seated on the valve spring cap or not, if it mows a little it will lose grip, bounce and scatter everything everywhere. It happened to me three times and I almost lost a couple of goalkeepers but luckily I didn't do that. The negatives notwithstanding, THIS HANDS DOWN IS BETTER THAN OTS. Same material quality guys! Much luck.
