Product Info

A valve spring compressor is a tool for those who are disassembling a cylinder head and wish to remove the valves and springs within the head. One side of a valve spring compressor will brace against the valve on the base of the head while the other can be clamped down on the valve spring retainer. This action forces the valve keepers loose from the retainer which is what keeps the valve attached to the spring. A valve spring compressor can be used to both remove and install valve springs into a cylinder head. The Valve Spring Compressor is suitable for just about all small and medium Over Head Valve engines. The opening adjustability of this compressor is between 75mm and 165mm giving enough room for just about any head type. The throat clearance on this compressor is 150mm which allows enough clearance for the arm of the compressor to wrap around the side of the head. This tool is perfect for anyone that wishes to easily and quickly remove valves from the cylinder head. For any DIY mechanic who finds themselves regularly pulling motors apart, this is a must have tool.

Features

Zinc plated steel construction to resist corrosion and abrasion damage
PVC coated handle offers improved grip
150mm throat clearance with a compression capability of 75 to 165mm to suit a wide range of small/medium OHV and OHC engines

Rated 1 out of 5 by Chris from Must read before purchasing! Absolute pile of crap, poor quality steel bent on first valve spring and completely broke on 3rd. Even the little nut on top that sets the valve spring width couldn’t hold tension so I had to weld it so it stopped slipping out of the tread. Had to make my own valve spring compressor to complete the job on my LSX heads because this pile of junk couldn’t even manage to do a half-job. You get what you pay for. Absolute junk. Highly do not recommend. As an enthusiast & collector that is always spending time working on high-end classics, muscle and Supercars. I don’t know if I’m ever going to bring my business to Supercheap auto ever after selling me such a useless piece of junk

Rated 1 out of 5 by Adrian from Completely useless and dangerous After reading all the negative reviews I watched the video demonstrating it working, thought perhaps people weren’t using it right, but the reviews are dead on. This tool s utterly useless unless your valve springs are from a retractable ballpoint pen. There a absolutely no possible way of compressing an ordinary valve spring with this flimsy design and stupidly short lever which provide zero leverage as even if you are a gorilla and can move the lever, you’ll seem have fewer fingers thanks to the stupidity of the lever placement creating an unavoidable dangerous pinch point. Do yourself a favour and buy a large G clamp and a short section of alloy tube, cut a notch in the side of the tube, big enough to access the collets with a magnet.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Neil W - WA from Very poor product... LOw compressibilty function / valve restraint bends needs to be stiffer and manual adjustor bar very small and difficult to turn. Found that handle lever was little of no function so had to resort to compressing spring with adjustment of bolt . Ended up throwing in Bin and resorting to using oversized socket and extension bar and hammering spring to diengage from cylinder head.. Very poor product...

Rated 1 out of 5 by 202887878 from Simply does not do the job Cannot apply enough pressure to springs, as it deforms (dangerously). The tips kept bending on the spring, and would slip off. It is very hard to apply enough pressure to the handle. I ended up buying another valve spring compressor from a local tool shop (same design, but more heavy duty), and it worked fine.
