Valve spring compressor

Who makes/sells the C clamp style valve spring compressor? I thought Wizards use to sell one, but now I see they just carry that billet LSM compressor.

Thanks for any help!

Ora Vasquez makes a GOOD one, handles 500 lb on the seat , no problem--- I don't have a contact number, someone here might ?

 

Hello Brian

You can make one yourself, here is the one I did, very strong and very safe during operation :

 

That's pretty nice... all you need is a grinder, no welding. Just grind a grove on the top for the stem and locks and pop a plastic cap on the bottom to protect the valve head. I used a much bigger clamp, though.

Very nice!

I will steal the idea and make my own, THANK YOU!

Maybe put a hex nut on the hand part, and use an impact to turn it?
Or a bigger, longer cranky thing?

Your Pal, Gary

 

That looks trick. If I can't find one I may just end up building one. Does anyone one happen to have any pictures of the ones Ora builds, or his contact info?

If I have to build one myself it doesn't look like it would be a big deal.

Thanks

 

I'll take a pic today and post it.

 

How much are they ? ( Ora's model )
