Default Installing Patriot Golds .... Larry tool?

Was wondering if anyone has used the "Larry" style valve spring tool to install Patriot Golds. Did you have a problem getting the bigger keepers in?

Thanks

Used a homemade Larry tool. I highly recommend it. I don't know if it was my ghetto tool or what, but the only tough thing was getting the spring centered just right around the valve to get the locks in.

Sounds good, I really didn't want to spend the extra money for one of the expensive spring compressors.
Thanks for the replies.
