Where to find valve spring compressor tool?

Make your own, like I did, Used a C-clamp and either a 02 sensor socket or i want to say 3/4 socket and cut slots in the sides. Works great. Wish I could show you a picture, but don't have tool with me right now.
 
I used this one on my head to remove the valves. It's cool because it bolts to the head so you can pull the springs and change them without pulling the head. You just run compressed air to the cylinder through the spark plug hole. They were very fast to ship and it is quality.

My buddy bought the Lisle tool and we swapped his seals out in no time with the head on the car. The one that bolts to the head works from what I've read but it seems like a pain in the ass, the video I saw showed a guy tapping the valve up from the bottom with the head off. If using compressed air, the cheap lisle tool can pop spring off and grab the retainers 99% of the time, same with install. Awesome tool if you have compressed air, regulated ofcourse. haha
