AP Racing Essex Kit/Brembo/BBK Piston Spreader Tool?

I am currently daily driving on Winmax W6's with the AP Racing Essex Kit; however the noise from W6's are much MUCH worse then Pmu Club Racers that I use to daily on the street. I have a set of street pads, but need to find a tool that allows for 4 piston reset.

Any recommendations on a piston spreader tool for the AP Racing Essex Kit/Brembo application? I did some research on other car forums and came across these two tools and wonder if anyone has experience with them?

Your ordinary brake caliper spreader will not work on a BBK as it is quad vs dual piston; additionally, using a c-clamp won't really work since the other pistons would just pop out. I'm not a fan of the pry bar/screwdriver method.
