valve spring removal tool

I watched someone srip 16 valves out of a honda cylinder head with one of these today

Took him all of 5 minutes.

What's wrong with giving a mate a fishing net and asking him to catch all the pieces which fly from under the bonnet?  :D

I was allowed to play with this thing today & a`knack` is needed on the re-install. No matter how hard I tried, one collet would lock down nicely & the other one would just trap on the edge.
Don`t be tempted to re-lift & try again
The knack is to leave as is & re-introduce the installer, but angle the tool over to the side which didn`t sit correctly - push down again & click it drops in.
I tried using the sykes pickavant & the snap-on tool, no contest the snap-on tool wins hands down for ease of use.
