cheap is a socket, a ring spanner and a hammer.

The clarke one is alright, Used it on mine to change the valve springs. It ain't snap on but it does the job.

i had a nightmare with mine, tough on the hands and the winder snapped.

having said that, the heads i've been stripping have been laying about for a while. thats probably part of the problem :crap:

Fair do's, Mine is the more expensive version so i take back what i said, saying that i got it for free:D

I had to give the top a whack to move the retainers though, The compressor started bending on one:laugh:
