Laser Tools 0288 Valve Spring Compressor

Laser Tools 0288 Valve Spring Compressor (OHC/OHV)

The Laser Tools 0288 is a heavy-duty "C-frame" valve spring compressor, specifically designed for overhead cam (OHC) and overhead valve (OHV) engines. This tool is a staple for cylinder head overhauls, allowing the user to compress valve springs and safely remove or install the split collets. It features a robust ratcheting mechanism that allows for incremental compression and easy locking, providing the technician with a steady, one-handed operation. This is particularly useful when retrieving small collets with a magnet. Built from high-quality forged steel, it is engineered to handle the higher spring pressures found in modern multi-valve heads. It provides a wide throat and jaw opening to accommodate most petrol and diesel passenger vehicle heads.

• Ratchet Action: Features a ratcheting handle for easy, controlled spring compression.
• Versatile Fit: Adjustable to fit various valve spring diameters and head depths.
• High Torque Steel: Forged construction ensures the frame won't flex under high tension.
• Professional Standard: Essential for valve seal replacement and cylinder head reconditioning.
