I haven't seen this tool, but I have an alternative version of
the same tool that is cheap ($10) but requires an air compressor.
Basically, it's a spark plug fitting with an air hose
attachment. Turn the engine over so both valves are closed,
put this in the cylinder, and clip on the air. The air pressure
holds the valve up.
It's fast and works well if you have a compressor.
