I know. And for that I built my own tool from a piece of steel sheet.

Anyway, yesterday I discovered an alternative method: take an L-shaped hex wrench size 4. Put the shorter side of the tool under the bolt (it will fit only in a certain angle of the tool). Move the longer side away from the crankarm - this will make a tight contact between the bolt and the tool. As you turn the bolt from the other side, the slot will end up under one of the edges of the hex wrench. At this point add a bit more torque and you should be able to block the slotted part of the bolt, while unscrewing the other. I am struggling with the language here, but do you understand what I'm trying to say? If you do, please correct my wording. This is info I'd put in the "Hints" thread.
