No doubt you can. I buy lots of stuff online from Bike Tools Etc:
http://www.biketoolsetc.com/, which is in Ashland, 15 miles from you. If you want to see how it's done, check out courses at United Bicycle Institute:
http://www.bikeschool.com/ , also in Ashland. You are very, very close to some good resources for bicycle repair.
Once you've bought the tool, you'll use it. For one, it makes it easy to thoroughly clean the cassette. Some of my bike tools are 30 years old, yet still work perfectly. Good tools are always a wise investment.
