Find a clean white tool truck stopped at an auto shop near you. Snapon
makes a nice tool for this job. Ask around at the auto shops for when
the clean white truck is due next. They should even have a business card
from the truck so you can get a number. I have called the truck to my
house to get essential tools before. Call and ask if the tool you need
is on the truck. You can find out their schedule and meet up if the guy
can't fit your house into his day.
