[GreenKeys] oops. e-clip?

[telegrapher at att.net]

In the event you might ever find one of these tools, by all means pick 
it up.  I think i have one in my TTY tool box that i've had for 30 
years, or so!  Definitely the right tool for the job.  I've done it with 
needle nose pliers but your eyesight should be good so you can spot 
which way it goes when it slips out of your grasp.  Also a good clean 
small room with no doors helps to make it easier to find.  Sometimes!
