    I have the same one to have it for the next I have the head off. Purchased it after someone who does heads for a living (another forum) recommended it. Everyone else who purchased it have been very happy. Mine did have a slight problem upon inspection. The threaded rods you see have a spring loaded ball bearing inserted into it. It is there to keep the valve tool end piece (part that makes contact with the valve spring retainer). Just like a rachat socket would have. On one the shafts, the ball bearing was loose and came out along with the spring. Simply put it all back in and used a center punch on two edges and the problem was solved. Get what you pay for after all.
