Garrett R. Hohn stated it a 3 star because he personally couldn’t keep the teeth on the spring, sounds personal. I Used these item fine and flawless. I am rebuilding my 289 HiPo 64 1/2 mustang and I clapped these puppy on the springs and have a 9/16 and hammer to knock out the keepers and these thing moved maybe half a cm, SO Garrett R. Hohn needs to have self control bc this item is fine you just turn the handle around to get right tension to put on the spring hook the teeth on and pull it closed and pull it off. Easy has 1 2 3 and installing is just as easy. Youtube even has a ten second video to prove how easy.

This compressor is really cool and really easy to use. I had no trouble getting it onto the springs, but getting it properly adjusted to the height that would make the keepers become exposed was often a trick and took multiple attempts. The one issue I saw was that it had some issues with double valve springs… I managed to get it to work, but I wouldnt be too sure that I didnt just get lucky. The little tabs on the spring hooks don’t quite extend in far enough for really positive engagement of that inner spring. In terms of durability, this thing is tough. I really reefed on it a couple times and had no metal deformation.

Like others here, I found it mostly failed to grip the spring. It took far too much effort through multiple tries to make the hooks grip the spring so I could start the compression maneuver. The cam handle that applies compression force seems like a good idea but actually requires such strength to power into position, it’s got to be in the free and clear for me to accomplish the task, yet, I think I’m stronger than many who will attempt to use this tool.You can remove the cam handle and use a supplied 1/2 inch bolt. That’s a good feature. It helps to overcome clearance issues. You only need about 3 or 4 inches clearance above the tool to operate it with the bolt. So, if there is a particular application where you only have a few inches available above the valve train, this Lisle will do it though you’ll have to work many extra minutes just making the hook grip the springs.The horizontal handle, I suppose, is designed to offer the user some leverage to control the tool but that lengthy handle gets in the way. In an engine compartment, there isn’t always clearance for that horizontal handle which is about 8 inches long.I put this Lisle back into its package after I compressed 3 springs. It took far too long to coax it to find a place on the spring where the hooks would grab. Once compressed, the spring appeared to be only loosely held by the Lisle. A slight misadvertent bump and the spring would be released from the tool and it would s-p-r-o-i-n-g across the shop. It could also smash a finger or two while you place seals and keepers into the recess of the spring cap if it spontaneously released compression on the spring.I finished the other 13 springs with a $15 compression tool from Sears. (It looks kinda like a large battery terminal puller.) It mounted quickly and easily onto the spring so that my first attempt was a successful venture for each of the remaining 13 springs.I’ve got many Lisle tools in my garage. Usually, Lisle favorably impresses me. This time? Nope!

Once you get the hang of it, it’s a pretty good tool. Worked great for me.
Customer –
Works as expected.
steve –
This is a nice tool well made ,but awkward to use
Greg Pate –
Almost impossible to use even after watching how-to video. Once I finally got the spring compressed I couldn’t get it to release. Now at the bottom of the scrap metal bin.
Reviews –
Met all expectations.

As usual Lisle can be trusted to make tools which succeed at what they are designed to do. I returned the useless other valve spring compressor I had purchased as it failed straight away.This one is quality and compact.

I have several Lisle tools that work great. This tool is an absolute piece of garbage. Don’t waste your money. I tried for 30 minutes to get the first valve spring removed and finally gave up. Went to Advance suto and bought their cheapo valve spring compressor and it works. Lisle blew it on this tool.
