Attached are three pictures of the spring steel split mute I use.  I think
it came from Schaff, but it's been a few years ago, so I don't remember.

I don't often use the mute end of it anymore, but have found the other end
to be quite useful for inserting strip mutes. I ground the sharp corners off
the steel end, and made it slightly angled to make it easier to insert a
strip mute into the treble section of verticals.
