I had one of these tools for the Stronglight 93 on my Raleigh Gran Sport, and the rod was a simple cylinder. No features that limited its movement in the tool or engage with anything else. It did work fine, not unlike the nifty Sugino tools that include the socket with the remover.
I also just used a 16mm socket with a ratchet when in the shop. Of course, the trick was finding a 16mm socket at that time (mid 70's), since most socket sets didn't include it. No idea why that was.
I sold the Gran Sport in the early 90's, and gave the Stronglight remover to a friend in the next 10 years. No particular regrets, as the relative unavailability of the unique Stronglight BCD rings drove me towards things like the Sugino AT with 110/74mm rings.
