Amen to that. And if you file a circumferential groove at each end of each *tool* at 
~5mm off each tip, the need for yor third hand will have become redundunt, coz you'll 
be able to fish the radio out with those hooks.
One more thing: sharpen the tips with a file. Will be a lot easier to insert them.
