Default Which LT1 cam bearing tool???

Please check these two SBC cam bearing tools out:

These tools are $60-70 and I want to know are they good quality for installing LT1 cam bearings. Do these tools center up to ensure proper insertion?

I really dont want to spend $160 for the Comp cams tool with all the universal fittings that I will never use. What do you guys think about the Summit and the proforms tool?

Does anyone live in central KY that may be willing to pull some bearings for me?

I would say PRO-66794. That one looks similar to the one I used on a 360 mopar I just rebuilt. But honestly I had someone help me out who had done hundreds of cam bearing installs. You are better off having a machine shop put them in, thats a way safer bet.
