Default My options for a tappet compressor tool?

Dieselers,

Turns out the KD-branded tool I've had for a year or so is too large to fit between the valves of the D24T. Drat. In doing some research I've found some various companies and part numbers for what I think are the same tool:
  • V9995196 ("OEM" Volvo)
  • Hazet 2574-1
  • Audi/VW 2078[A] (Skip at Baum told me about this one)

I'm looking for whatever is cheapest to buy, yes I could rent, but I'd rather own it. Can anyone give me recommendations or opinions on what they have used / own? Price is a concern here, but I'd also like something that is not a "throw away".

Thank you, Jim.
