Looking for a JWT valve spring compressor tool. Anyone done with a rebuild and have one sitting around?

FYI They are a pain in the ***, they press on one side of the retainer which makes it damned near impossible to install the keepers easily.

Is there a better way to do it? I'm rebuilding the engine and just need to change the seals.

It’s a bit ghetto but I sacrificed a cheap deep socket and cut a window in the side of it and use that with a regular OHV compressor like the one in the link.

If you have an extra set of hands you can get by with the JWT one, have someone press down on the other side of the retainer with a thin brass punch.
