good deal.. i have an air rachet.. glad i found something cheap and easy to use, that will make my first cam install go good.. i got it for 31 shipped to my door.. 9$ cheaper lol then new, but from what i hear there hard to screw up, and this guy only used it once i think.. now just one more stupid question.. im basically using this tool to push down the spring.. how far do u do that.. what tells you how far to go? does it tell u with the cam or springs or what? and how do u use this tool? sorry im a DA guys.. price beats the hell outta the 140$ tools ive seen..

it's the best tool evar. =) We used it for a few cams, used air for the valves so we couldnt use the air wratchet on the tool, but it's really not needed and way overkill.

I borrowed WILWAXU's just recently. It works like a champ. Very easy to use and a quality product. Works perfect with dual valve springs, even broken ones...
