picked mine up at napa but I didn't even end up using them. It was just as easy and safer in my opinion to turn the engine over one at a time putting the cylinders at the top

FWIW, I went to Vic Hubbards which is a one-off speed shop where I'm from and they had a hose specially made for the job, it was only $11.

I use Tim's tool. Works like a charm

It's $24 without the spring compressor, which is also good.
