One tool: Needle nose vise-grip. Place string loop over/around the plate pin, weave the string around bridge pins and lightly pinch the upper bridge pin with needle nose vice grips. The string will retain its position. Just remember to take the vice-grip off or it will be there for the next tuning or tuner.
