What do you guys use and which is the best and safest compressor for valve springs on v8s and straight 6s. I have a cheap one and it sometimes does not work very good at all.

I've got this one, Lisle 44300, made in USA, does the job, worked great on my 235 valves. https://www.lislecorp.com/specialty-...compressor-267
