Default Valvespring removal tool????

I have already bought 2 different types of Valvespring removal tools. None have worked on my DOHC Vtec head.

What company makes one that fits?
TIA

That's the one that Ben sold to me. I used it without a problem. It does take some muscle and a second person with a magnetic wand to pull the keepers out.

I'll set it back up on my head and take a picture of it so you can see how it all goes together.

The Snap on works great. Easy to use, just need 2 people to make it easy, if you're alone, good luck. First time we used it the first 2 or 3 valvesprings took about 30 min, but after that he got all of them out and back in, in less than 45 min.

A magnetic pickup tool makes removal easier with just one person.

Re-installation of the keepers can also be done easily by one person with that tool.

A must-have for any engine builder.
