Default Valve Spring Compression Tool

Does anyone in N. GA have a good (Non-Autozone) valve spring compression tool that my son can borrow for a few hours? He is putting the heads back on tomorrow.

He is currently using one of these and not having any luck.

Just shoot me a PM if you can help!

Thanks,

Ben

This probably won't help you now, but on the off chance it is ever needed again, would something like the following work for you (probably w/ a different fitting on the end)?

Not sure how far you are from Auburn (georgia) but you're more than welcome to swing by the shop and borrow my "Larry" tool. I no longer use it after purchasing the crane compressors, but it's made a great loan out tool for people who need one real quick.

Let me know.
