Is that tool meant to hold the valve also?

Looks like a great tool.

That would be nice while the head is on the car.

I still like mine however because $5.00 for the clamp and the socket was broken and free. All I did was cut into the socket.

It looks like this works for the Evo's also.

No. When I use mine, I just leave the cylinder I am working on at TDC and gently lower the valve so it's resting on the piston. For reassembly you just pull the valve up and put the keepers back in with a bit of moly grease to keep 'em stuck to the valve shaft.

The one thing I did forget to include in my OP is that it also comes with an adapter for different shaped/sized retainers. I tried it both ways and using the included piece helps the valve sit more centered in the retainer making it easier to get the keepers in.

Goodhart, yes, it does work for the EVO's as well. Sure you can make something cheaper, but for the price and what you get, I feel it's well worth it.
