Default valve spring compressors what one to use?

I read about two different valve spring compressors from different people installing new springs. There was something about the handle being in the way when getting to the back springs with on e of the compressors. What one is the best one to use and where can I get one.

Try this...
Valvespring compressor

The handle is removeable, and lets you get at it with a ratchet or open end wrench... I have one, and it's worked fine for me.

I just got mine in the mail. This will definitely work better than the one I had. This time, the spring install will be much easier.
