This 8-inch C-clamp style valve spring compressor compresses valve springs on overhead valve (OHV) engines so you can remove and install valve keepers (locks). The direct-action lever gives better visibility of the spring retainers, and the jaw opens from 1-3/8 to 5-5/8 inches. It locks automatically and is simple to release.
