Default B series valve spring compressor

What do you guys use? I can't seem to find a tool that will work with a B series head because the valve springs are buried in there.

Sorry for the newbsauce question
Thanks guys

Idk why anyone would bother with the lever style on a b/h vtec head when there is the euroexport tool.

This is the same exact style as the snapon tool posted by stevieriot. It takes me no more than 5 minutes to remove all springs and retainers from my head.

not as easy as the ones in the video. Those look to have less tension but you can take them off just as easy if you weigh more than 100lbs and put your weight on it.
