you may want to specify what head this is for and if you were looking for an overhead compressor, specialty tool that bolts to the head, or a c-clamp type. The c-clamp types are absolutely awful IMO.

If you need an overhead one, the freight sells em for like 10 bucks and it’ll work just fine.  
If you need a specialty one that bolts to the head, I got one at swerve, but it’s paulys and he’ll probably want a deposit that covers the cost of the tool and a rental fee as well.  
If you need a c-clamp type, you can get em at sears for like 50 bucks, but be prepared to punch babies when you get finished 6 hours later.

edit: take a pic of the head you’re dealing with and I could better suggest what you’ll need to get the job done with the least amount of headaches.
