Have any of you seen/used this valve spring compressor? Seems to be the best value, but is it a practical and good tool to get as opposed to the eurosport or other compressor? thoughts,ideas, suggestions

um no. I use the blue point spring compressor. Is the easiest and quickest once you know how to use it.

 

I am assuming you mean the handheld one and not the one that bolts up to the outter cam cap holes. Ive done a little digging and while videos seem like its a good choice, people argue on the forum that with aftermarket springs it is difficult using the tool and that it can even potentially strip keepers/valves

 

Ask the general public that have actually used the hand held. I personally use it and it makes the spring retainer swap an hour or less ordeal

 

Thanks for the feedback. Majority rule definitely lies in one of these handheld spring compressors: snap-on, blue point, valve master, etc.

 

hand held one. I've done aftermarket valve springs all the time. One of the best time saving tools I have. I own the snap on one also that bolts to the cam caps, but after using the hand held, its a no brainer.

 

i use the valve master worked great so far done about 4 engines with it.

as far as using it with aftermarket springs i dont know

it didnt take much effort at all to remove the ITR springs from one head and put them into other

putting them in took me about 5 minutes total
