looks like the picture but better! built just like the more expensive device here at Amazon. Get this one instead and save $$$

Cons
  • I have doubts

Does the job, good value for money

This spring compressor is good for occasional use. It does the job well, but it's not intended for the shop that does normal cylinder head work.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Suitable for basic power tool work

Fits on valve springs but stretches VERY hard to loosen stubborn retainers. I had to use a heavy clamp on my last takedown to free all of my guards.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Easily torn

The tool is fine in Valve Train Tools

The tool did its job but didn't hold the string so I kind of had to have a third hand to keep the pressure right on the valve. The tool is solid but sloppy. I don't know what I'm going to buy next, but I wouldn't recommend this one.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Working Speed

works great does what it's supposed to. made with good materials.

it makes the spring shorter I can tell works great the smaller head is small enough to fit tight picks. doesn't flex like cheap junk when compressed, overall impressed, . For the price unbeatable.

Pros
  • certified
Cons
  • cord is shorter than other picks

almost impossible to use

It doesn't work as intended for almost everyone. I had to loosen the valves on my 460 heads with a bolt and two locknuts with an impact wrench, which took almost two hours to get them out without damaging them. They will go in the bin and I will buy another one before putting them back.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
