[pianotech] Replacing strings and coil lifters

[atrav27 at att.net]

Too often when replacing a single string there's not enough room for my coil lifter to work 
properly, so I have a dental pick with a hook on the end that helps, and a mini-flat blade screw 
driver with the blade bent in a L. But, that slows the whole process down and makes me think there 
has to be a better way. Are there any other crafty ways to lift a coil while tightening a single 
string?

TIA,
