just get a larry / tims tool... cheap and work great. Or get the crane / vinci if you want to spend a few more bucks.

I've heard the more tool bends and breaks easily (the tool not the springs) I'd say get the crane, you won't regret it.

I can confirm this from personal experience. When I was swapping springs last time, I had to keep bending the tool ears back in with a BFH. Wish I'd gotten the Vinci (or like-kind) instead, and will do so the next time I do springs.

I've had no problems with mine. It'll work on dual valvesprings or any other kinda spring. It's made of aluminum so you just can't be super aggresive with it.

FWIW...I've heard really good things about the crane tool.
