The two I would rec are a c-clamp style its more expensive but well worth it, or a lever style that will bolt to the head and you have a bar you push down on to compress the spring. Down side is trying to reassemble the keepers is kind of a bitch sometime.

I have one of those, I only use it on ohv engine though. A lot of times those are great for removal but kinda suck for install.

The one I have it dosnt fit honda heads. It butts up against the head and marks it which I don't like but you can remove all the valve springs in about a min or two.
