Thanks for this post. I just bought one.
Will be swapping soon over to a new dual exhaust and removing my Arrow header. Both the header, and the center stand require messing with springs. And I've had many other bikes and reasons to pull springs over the years.
It is actually the over engineering that sold me.
Many other spring hooks- even from Motion Pro- you can see pictures of people posting that the hook part breaks. This does not look that that will ever happen.
Additionally- this has 2 more features I like- the ability to lock solid or flex in the middle. The other being that it has a backside barb to function as a PUSH as well.

For as often as most folks need to pull exhaust springs, it sure seems like a $10 spring puller would be more than sufficient.
Then again, I would probably try and make due with a pair of vise grips that then slip off and scratch the exhaust while simultaneously marring the finish on the spring.
