Default Advice on tool for valve retainers replacement

Has anyone replaced their valve retainers with this tool? If yes, I am wondering how it went.

Is it a good tool, or should I go with this one instead?

Thanks for you advice!

Wow, that's cool! Pricy for a one time use, but smart tool, and apparently well designed!
