Crank lock tool sources?

[Robert M]

  I have used a 'spring bar' type prybar to lock the crank pully on a number 
of occasions.  Some would label that a kludge, but at $9.99 vs. $109, kludge 
me up!

(should lead to a craftsman 13.5" pry bar, pn 00937342000)

I got a cheap chinese one at the local hardware store: $3.99.
