5.0 out of 5 stars Worked Perfectly, November 24, 2011

I used this to remove springs on and OHV V6 and it worked perfectly. This was the easiest part of a maticulous head gasket/valve job. With my latex gloves slick with assembly lube, it wasn't the easiest to turn to compress the springs for re-installation. Had no issues at all removing them. I draped a clean rag over the handle to turn it to compress the springs for the re-installation. Applying some lube to the forcing screw made it function a little smoother. I would recommend you give this tool a try. I'm also going to try a few other designs and see if they work any better. Overall I'm satisfied with this tool though.

This review is from: Danaher Tool Group KDS3271 Universal Overhead Valve Spring Compressor (Misc.)

After doing some modification to the tool, it compressed the spring well even with the cheap plastic turn handle. You could put a ratchet on the end if you like. Problem with it is it would not stay straight on the retainer while compression the spring so I just tack welded a washer that fit perfectly over it and worked well.
