Default Changing valve springs and retainers(B18C)

Anybody got one of these they wanna sell or know someone who does. Its the only tool i can use to change my springs and retainers w/o removing the head. Please help i ordered one from Northern Tool in October and they still don't have them in stock then i won one from ebay and got screwed because it never got shipped. HBO (Help a Brother Out)
I don't wanna order from this company, its in the UK and I'm in NC. Plus maybe i can find a used one from somebody who doesn't need it anymore for cheaper than a new one
Its the one in the red box(TA310)

Snap on sells em for $100 +.

I found the same thing for $54. I used it and like it. It can be used when the head is on or off the motor, but you will only have one free hand. The C clamp ones in the thread below give you both hands but are used only when the head is off.

Here is a helpful thread.
