Valve Lifter Go-No Go & Spring Compressor Tools

I'm looking at buying a valve lifter Go-No Go measurement tool and a valve spring compressor tool to do some valve lifter maintenance work on my 560SL. Can anyone give me some suggestions where to buy a decent tool at a low price? Don't want to spend a fortune since they won't get used much, but also don't want to buy junk. On Ebay, have seen a Go-No Go guage from Zdmak, and compressors from KTC and El Paso tool, but am skeptical on the quality. Thanks.

IMO, both are just fine. They are copies of the original tools in many cases.

Thanks Strife. Didn't think I would get a response, and I know everybody has an opinion. Did see an original Mercedes branded tool on Ebay recently. Does look more refined and pretty then the aftermarket versions, but suppose they both still work the same. Just was concerned about the accuracy. And the cheaper aftermarket ones really aren't that cheap.
