Ah, come on guys & gals. This was discussed eons ago! The simple fact is to 
MAKE a tool out of a piece of 1/4" steel rod, ( 1" Long), an umbrella stay, 
(the round one, 3" long), one piece of 1/8" steel rod, (1/4" long) & a piece 
of brass tubing that will sleeve over the 1/8" steel. Silver solder the 
whole darned thing together and put it on a 1/2" dowel handle with a flat 
that is in line with the slot in the 1/8" steel head. Got it? Good!
Have fun.<G> (BTW, the same "ingenious design is in most Renner actions, as 
well, so make the tool and quityourbitchin'<G>)
