Rich,
If I truly do not want to disturb the solder joint, I simply make a hook-to-hook and then solder over.
This Kwikette is a nice thing. But it won't fit everywhere: in my case the cap (fairly fat) had to be put near the connection and then the lead bent pretty close to both the joint and the cap itself.
And, as you said, it is fairly easy to make one's own, from a solid hook-up wire and anything thin cylindrical, like the drill bit you mentioned.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
