Valve Spring tool

Getting ready to do a cam swap in my car soon and Im looking for the best tool to use for swapping the valvesprings. Been looking at the crane tool and something else that caught my eye is the "tims tool" http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/tools-...available.html. What should I use? Or does anyone have any advice or a tool, Ill pay to use it!

I used the autozone rental one and it worked great for me. The only bad thing was that you would have to do one spring at a time. Oh and my engine was out of the car.

I have one like it . It worked good on my truck but I lost the bolt. Your more than welcome to borrow mine, you just have to get a bolt or stud.
