A pair of small pair hemostats is what I use. I keep them
in my range/cleaning box.

A couple nails clamped in vise-grip pliers should do it in a pinch.

Supposedly it can also be done with a bullet tip.
If you get the bullet-tip method to work, please share your experience.

The SKS crossbolt tool can be used too.

I personally use the Gas Wrench/FS tool from TAPCO that I got about 10 years ago.
