That type would be difficult to use on most Hondas.

I agree, that looks like a cheap version of what I used for mine. On the B series heads, the springs are so deep in the head that there isn't much room to the side to fit the tool in, or get it out for that matter. The SOHC stuff isn't as bad though, the head is shorter.
