One thing someone on here actually suggested was to just use a bent metal coat hanger. I tried it, it worked pretty well for my bb.
Alright, I think I'll just see what I can pick up as I need them then. I can't really justify spending almost 300 on a tool set when a lot of the tools will be duplicates.
