You can make the tool by finding a piece of all thread to match the outer diameter threads of the crank arms (or cut your own threads), cut the all thread to about an inch long, drilling the proper size hole with a drill press exactly in the middle of the chunk of all thread, tapping that hole for a bolt that has a diameter slightly smaller than distance across the square taper face. attache your new tool to the crank arm, and drive in the bolt. this is not very practical unless you have a drill press, tap set, appropriate saw to cut hardened steel, the right size all thread, and some time.
Or just buy the tool.
