Default Valve Spring Tool?

Recently a member posted a simple valve spring tool for r&r of the valve springs. I think it may have been a GM product, I am unable to find it so any help would be appreciated.

TByrne Motorsports sells a spring remover, go to C5 section and then look under valvetrain. You will need to have an air compressor in order to remove the springs while the heads are still on the car. Installing dual springs with this setup is quite a job too.

Don't waste your money. It's cheaply made and it doesn't work very well with aftermarket springs. Why pay $130 when you can pay $15 and have one that is 50X's easier to use.
