How well do those C-clamp type special tools work for removing and installing upper control arm bushings?

Can anyone recommend a particular brand for servicing vintage Mopar upper control arms?

I bought one of these years ago. Worked ok for me the one time I used it.

Guys, he's asking about one of these tools.
"C" clamp type used on 73 up B body style Mopar passenger cars, and other manufactures.
Yes, the tool works well, for that type of designed suspensions.

I did the same thing in the 80's pipe, ends caps with holes drilled in them and all thread. Added some nuts and washers. Still, have it.
I see now we are talking about a whole nother thing so.
Edit I used one of the tools in the red box. Used it on my 1994 Ram 2500 uppers. It worked great.
