Compress Big Valve Springs, Strip Rust and Paint from Sheetmetal, and Keep Your Shop Clean with these Summit Racing Shop Tools

A hot-rodder’s work is never done. Fortunately for you, we have new Summit Racing brand tools to install and remove valve springs, strip and prep sheetmetal, and clean up after yourself.

Summit Racing™ Pro Billet Valve Spring Compressor
Installing and removing valve springs—especially the big ones with high spring loads—can be a tough job if you don’t have a good compressor tool. Those types of valve springs can cause a poorly designed tool to flex or even bend, sending a valve spring flying around the shop.

You won’t have that issue with a Summit Racing Pro Billet Valve Spring Compressor. Designed for use with cylinder heads off the engine, the tool is made from strong billet aluminum to eliminate flex, even with large 1.645-inch diameter triple valve springs. There is a handle on each end to adjust the compressor to fit a wide variety of cylinder heads. The handles also have long- and short-throw positions for either speed or additional leverage, which is also nice.

The Pro Billet compressor has a tapered seat to accommodate retainers ranging from .850 to 1.650 inches in diameter. The pitch of the threaded shaft creates enough leverage to compress springs with loads of up to 1,000 pounds. The standard spring cage fits most small- and big- block V8 cylinder heads and has a bearing style end to reduce friction.

Other features include:
•Large 8.38- x 5.5-inch jaw capacity
•Knurled locking collar for quick setup
•Grip protector
•Fully radiused and beveled surfaces
•Can be used with a cordless drill or power ratchet and a 1/2-inch socket

Summit Racing™ Surface Stripping Tool
Removing rust, old paint, and body filler from your project’s sheetmetal is not a fun job. But you can make it less tedious with a Summit Racing™ Surface Stripping Tool. It has a powerful 11-amp motor and a variable speed control with a ‘soft-start’ function to slowly bring the tool up to speed so it doesn’t gouge the metal surface or try to fly out of your hands.

The Surface Stripping Tool uses removable four-inch diameter abrasive/sanding drums. It comes with one 40- and one 80-grit drum, plus it’s compatible with our big selection of drums for stripping, sanding, and surface finishing.

Other features include:
•Ergonomic D-handle
•Drum guard for safety
•Self-locking button for easy drum changes
•Hardened belt drive for long life and reliability

•30-degree wheel alignment for better control
•Built-in dust port to attach the tool to a shop vacuum

The washable and reusable HEPA filter prevents dust from getting into the motor.

Other features include:

•Reverse feature to use vacuum as a blower
