Default Anyone Have Vortec Valve Guide/Spring Cutting Tools?

I need to modify my Vortec heads so I can run a high lift cam. Don't want to spend $150 on tools I will only use once. But I would be willing to pay rental fee and a deposit if someone will loan them to me. I need:
Comp Cams 4718
Comp Cams 4726
Comp Cams 4732

You might be able to rent these at an local auto parts store like O'reillys. Worth looking into anyway.

Have you considered using stepped spring retainers? I don't have a part number but you can search for them as well as I can. I believe Comp Cams sells them. A pit easier than cutting the guides.
