Default Valvespring Compressor

I have a couple spare heads that I want to learn how to do valvetrain/headwork on. I'm looking for a cheap valvespring compressor, but I want to make sure it's easy to use and usable with Honda valvetrain. Anybody have any input?

Found these 2:

Yo dub... I got a f22b2 head with a hole in it. You can have it to mess around with as long as you give me the cam back.

The tool is to put the valvesprings back in...I don't need it to get them out.
