IMO, just do the tool.

Got an old PC lying around?  I hear that I/O slot covers make a usable tool.

Mine is made from an old hacksaw blade (so perhaps 1/2" wide).  I heated it 
with a propane torch to bend a right angle, then cut the end off about 1/4" 
away from the bend.  Ground the teeth off and wrapped some plastic (electrical) 
tape around it to protect the cars finish.
