Anyone have one they want to sell before I buy the Bluegrass one? Or is there a cheaper option that works?

I may have one. Used one time to change springs on the LS2 GTO.
I'll have to dig around for it...not sure where I put it.

Mine is not for sale but I will say this, I bought the one from Bluegrass and really like it for the price. and it works well.

I am looking at that one also but thought I would see if anyone wanted to part with one on here first.

I bought a $20 one off eBay. It's quality makes it a 2 time use.

I bought a $20 one off amazon. Worked great but if the heads are off you'll have to find a way to keep the valve up so you can get the springs off.

I ordered the Bluegrass one today. Little more money but at least I know what I am getting. Thanks everyone for your input!

The Chinesium one I bought was such garbage that it was barely a one time use. Also, the aluminum they used was so soft I was worried about shavings getting into the heads when I tightened it down to compress the spring, as the washer was gouging it. It worked, but I prefer not to buy disposable tools. I should have spent more and bought smarter. Oh well.
