Default Spring Tool 2001ZZ is a HERO!!!

I bought a valve spring tool from 2001ZZ on this board and he mailed it using USPS last Thursday. It has still not come in, so he overnighted me another tool yesterday so that I could do my Cam swap this 4th of July 3 day weekend.

By the way, it's a very nice tool, well made. It was NOT his fault that the US Post Office could not deliver it from Kentucky to Arizona in a week. In fact, I noticed that Larry of the Larry Tool went away from using the Post Office because of lost tools. 2001ZZ went beyond the call of duty and overnighted me one even though he lost money on this deal (I voluntarily sent him another $10 as a thank you, but he never even hinted at wanting more money). This guy is a CLASS ACT.

Thanks,
Glenn

It was $25 and it worked fine. I did a slight mod though by putting a 20 degree angle on it so the angle with the retainer wasn't so steep when the spring was compressed.

Thanks,
Glenn
