valve spring compressor tool?

Which have been found to work without modification? I am just removing mine so that the machine shop has less to mess with when I drop it off. Will this one work? http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_0...704000&sLevel=0

Just do it old skool with a hammer and socket. Tools like that always scratch up the springs and retainers when they slip off.

I can't say anyone has recommended a tool that can be used without modification, however consult this thread for great information about modifying a standard compressor to work in the S2000:
