you have to get it from snap on or mac, its is pretty expensive if i recall..wrench and screwdriver always worked for me

 

yes i do,
but there are times were i had to adjust the valve with out them,
adjust it loose, then try to tighten the lock nut by hand without moving the adjuster, then snug them with a 10mm socket. the adjuster will move, but since you adjust them loose, it should be ok. recheck the clearance
but still i recomend you use the special tool, makes like easier and faster

Amen!

 

just do your valves every 15k(honestly) and then it doesn't seem so bad, does it?

 

maybe could try harbor freight

$50 is kind of steep for a tool thats only used once every 30K miles under severe conditions. What brand is that one?</TD></TR></TABLE>

And yet other people won't bat an eye at $200. aluminum jacks, or $900. headers and exhausts, or $500. 17" blingerZoRz.

Get the correct tool the for the job.

$50. is pocket change in the grand scheme of things.

This works too, but it takes time. It is much much faster with the snap-on locknut adjustment tool Well worth the $$ IMO

its a matco.

steep? but people have NO problem paying 45 for some drain plugs.

and if you like to rev you need to check your valve more often then 30k.

 

that Snap on one is awesome once you get used to it.
i need to get one bad. i have used it at a friends shop last time i did mine and it was very nice.
