Default Anyone use the SDPC Valve Spring Compressor?

This one?

I'm trying to install the new Crane dual springs and my snap on compressor won't compress the inner spring.

Will this fit on an F-Body with the heads still in the car?

It looks like it would be too tall in that picture to do it on the car. Maybe you can get a hold of SDPC ank ask them.

I bought and used one. One of the best tools I own. Changed springs on my Camaro, worked great. Dan
