Pros & Cons
Pros
After owning this tool ill never use anything else again. It works best if you use the lock nut above the foot. The only downside is the tool doesn't compress the springs in a straight line.
Very easy to use and does the job quickly, easily and safely. Works much better than the twist style! Worked extremely nice for my sbc heads.
Used this to remove valve springs on an of iron gm mercruiser boat engine. This on a small block chevy head. Used this on my pontiac.

Cons

Highlights
Quality
Functions as expected and material quality is good
Very good quality and easy to use
I did this on an engine stand with the heads mounted on the engine
They should offer a flat fork version of this tool or include one with the original style

Packaging/appearance
If you have access to a welder just get the threaded bolts that will thread into the the rocker stud hole and the tool
To do so you have to disassemble the entire tool and flip the part that threads into the push in studs then reassemble
Competitiveness
This compressor worked great and was much safer to use than the models that can slip off of the spring
Im a big dude and springs over 400lbs compressed was a challenge not anymore

They would not even start to compress so i could remove the keepers
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There was a minor misalignment of the surfaces that compress the spring resulting in a tilting of the spring as it was compressed

Will even work on engines that do not have rocker studs
