Valve Keeper installation tool



Here's a valve keeper installation tool to help with the really fiddly job of installing keepers.  Zim (a simplification of the founder's last name Zimmerman) started in business around the end of WW1, over the years they made many specialty mechanic's tools, particularly for rebuilding engines.  Alloy Artifacts notes they were recently taken over by A&E Manufacturing of Racine Wi.



Thanks, Rick! Good luck with the engine rebuild...

I'm puzzled, never seen this and can't find a video demo of it.
Stick the keepers on with a dab of grease, problem solved, no ?
What am I missing ?
