There is a member making a tool but I'm not sure how thick the outside edge is. He uses a nylon 1/4 cap head bolt and a plastic tube. I could use a thin walled one too as my old HRO has a similar arrangement. The trimmers a very tight so the bp pen doesn't cut it. I generally find the Philco trimmers once loosened w/nut driver not difficult to manipulate w/ bp pen.
