I have used the Brownells Rebound Spring tool with success but lately the "J" frames are tougher to reassemble so I'm, thinking that the featured tool may be better and worth a try so please forgive this Candy Tail as I place an order for a new Rebound Spring removal & replacement tool.

I have owned the Brownell tool for decades, but I've found it's not the best or easiest option. It works good for removing springs, but I've found the proper size Phillips screwdriver works better for putting the spring back into place. The tool woudstra posted looks like it would work well for you.
