if its just for 8 valve heads, you can get away using those really cheap 15-20 dollar ones

Here is a KD 2400. It is VERY Similar and it WILL work on both the 8v & 16v heads. I have one of each.

The 3087 is a little nicer to use when the head is still on the car, especially on the 16v head. Because the handle on the 3087 can be changed to 90 deg. so the handle isn't hitting the fire wall.

Here are pictures showing both the KD-2400 and the KD-3087:
