First, try to find comprehensive instructions. Found a few for the Lisle brand that are the same thing but still poor explanations.Don’t try these for a Chrysler 3.6L unless you pull the heads. You can get the springs off (not on the rear bank of a transverse engine though), but there isn’t enough room to use a hammer on the exhaust side of the front bank to get them back on.Then the retainer got stuck in the tool.What a pain.Trying another tool.

These work awesome. I wish I would have had these for the last 20 years

After buying and researching more thoroughly, I found that if you have stiffer springs this won’t work. Ended up using some high temp grease on my keepers to help slide them into place whilst using a valve spring compressor tool

This product would work fine for a different vehicle. For Prius I had difficulty that the magnet was too strong slightly and when trying to put keepers back on would grab them. Also the center pin was too large, which may have contributed to the issue. It comes with 2 sizes, I thought the smaller would have worked, but really had a tough time.

I only used one of them, so I didn’t rate 5 stars as the full product wasn’t tested yet. The one that I did worked really well. When taking them off the magnet works really well at capturing the loose pieces and reassembly was a breeze. These are also smaller than the old way which makes it nice so I have room in my tool chest for them!
Life’s good –
No instructions, no tutorial or anything and after watching many videos of people struggling to remove or install the keepers I give up for the fact that you have to use a hammer to wack the tool to install the keeper. NO THANKS I RATTER BE PATIENT install the keeper with my real tool and avoid any damage to my head or valves. I’m 48 years old euro tech and I been working on engines since I was 16 years old I recommend people not buy this thing

Works great after you figure out to use it right. Removing the keepers were easy tool works great for that but putting them back in was a different story but after 10 to 20 try’s I finally got the hang of it and the rest went in easy. Valve seals replaced and no more blue smoke.

The tool worked as advertised, the only problem i had with it was trying to figure out what one to use, also i assumed that one could be used to reinstall the keepers so either it was not for reinstall, or i could not figure it out, so the instructions or description needs to be clarified.Carl
