Mancini apparently does not make this tool anymore. I know Buxton personally and his is very expensive. is there another vendor that makes this tool? Ill be removing valve springs in car.

Those things are junk. One of the best tools I have ever used is the LSM spring removal tool. You can do it safely with the heads on, or on the bench, all by yourself. Super slick. Make sure to get the right one. We built a small plate adaptor to use on different style Mopar heads, but once you use one you’ll never want to use anything else ever again.

Sorry, I am not sure. I’d contact LSM, but I think the BB. Works fine on my Max wedge heads.
