Hey guys I'm having some trouble applying enough pressure to install the keepers onto my valves with the tool that I have. Any suggestions on an easier method or a tool that makes it easier? Thanks in advance.

what tool do you have? The right tool can make the world of difference and not all of them are effective. While definitely not the best method, I've seen people put them on with a large flat tipped screw driver without doing a lick of damage.
It's a Lisle 36050 installer and removal tool. How do people go about it with a screw driver?
That tool probably isnt going to get the job done...This is what i use and theres no issues at all, nice and easy for every valve and quick once you get the hang of it. Thats assuming you have the heads off. You need something like this:

or possibly this with the heads on still:
