Title: valve lifter tool
Post by: 1930 on September 02, 2012, 04:04:30 PM
Went to the flea today and I found something I actually wanted, some of you guys might remember I was considering one of these on E-bay quite a while back until I got sticker shock. Guy said he wanted 5 dollars for it but he accepted my 3.

I know this has been beat to death but I would like some opinions on cleaning it, as you can see one side of the handle has seen better days but they are tight and I dont want to do anything but clean it up.

It would be also nice if someone could post a picture of the chain and the other deal that are missing, I would like to find these parts and there would be no point in taking them off another tool. Can anyone help?
