Interesting Stevens tool
Stevens tool number T-256 is a Stevens valve stem wedge. Lengthens the valve stem without distortion!

Re: Interesting Stevens tool
Kim, does it come with instructions? I can't get my head around how it works. It looks more like a jig to push the head off a two piece valve. That wold of course 'lengthen' the stem.

Re: Interesting Stevens tool
Allan,
They are necking down the valve stem diameter and that lengthens the stem. See expanded and rotated view:
