Re: Valve Spring compressor adaptor
i have one but they are a bit of a pain trying to get your fingers in there to fish out the locks. i've got a pen magnet that sorta works, except if you use Titanium locks which i'm sure your not,...it's just tight, that's all there is to it. just improvise like Kevin said. old socket or make up something, forget chasing down the adapter piece, not worth it, it's not the 'be all/end all' tool.
