id like to see pics of this crane tool, ive used the one that a member on this board makes for the in car, worked great but i had to use a mirror on a telescoping handle to see on the back cylinders if the new spring was centered so when i compressed it, it didnt go right on top of the valve. and if this one can do 2 at once, i either see it being a total pain to line up, or a godsend. id have to try it to determine.
