It's a little fiddly, but it gets the job done. It is effortless. The cylinder heads are huge, but this tool performs like a champ.

The tool is simple, elegant in it's design to compress and hold, without the need to reset for each valve. I position the bolt in tube so it in just enough to allow some tubing to surround the keepers. Then one easy push and a jiggle and release and k...  Read More

    I did not and almost left a poor review due to my mistake


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ive used a couple of the cheap variants that clamp onto the spring and pop off 12x before you finally get the locks out


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I removed all of the valves on my 250 pontiac ohc six in under half an hour and that was taking my time to mark everything

    The tool is very rigid with little or no flex

    If going to be using alot alot i would recommend a more durable one
