              The handle was just a little uncomfortable to use, but it wasn't terrible.
              This tool worked great on a Pontiac 3.4l engine.
              I think it was a very good value.
              I don't think it will break with repeated use.

              this unit will not fit in available space for multi valve engines like GMs 2.4L. Needs room to fit over valve.

                  Comments about Autocraft Overhead Valve Compressor:

                  Other than the twist handle being too thin for comfort it has survived one set of heads. I'm not sure how durable it's going to be in the long run but it does have a lifetime warranty so that's a plus for a replacement in the future. Hopefully it lasts though. I only got this cheap one since it was the only one in stock and I needed one immediately.

                    I bought this valve compressor as an inexpensive solution for doing a valve job on the 1.6 litre Renault motor in my Lotus Europa. It worked well for removing the valve springs and should also be good when the time comes to reassemble.

                    • Q:

                      Does compressed air still have to be used to keep valve up while removing retainers and keepers with this design or any other Autocraft valve spring compressor?
