Default Valve Spring compressor Question for B-Series heads

What Valve Spring Compressor works well on DOHC B series. I have tried two styles from craftsman and neither will fit correct being the valves sit so lower in the head. Any suggestsions?

I use a Craftsman one. It's a big u shape one. squeeze the part that goes over the retainer all the way closed and put it on top of the retainer. Don't try to put the sides of that part around the retainer. it doesn't fit. Hope that helps. It can be done with a Craftsman one.

i got a air one. press a button and it compresses other releases.

It is made by power fist and is really easy to use.
