I bought 4 SS dental picks for $4.50 including delivery on E. Boy they make changing traction tires much less troublesome.

You'll find that they make quite a few jobs easier.
My dentist has a drawer full of older and broken ones. He lets me take what I want, so ask the next time you visit yours. I did have to write a check for more than $4.50, though.

I believe Marv Laster of E-Hobby tools has them for sale
The variety stores in flea markets sell them for a dollar each. I found mine where they have tools.
They're also available at advance auto, etc... for picking off gaskets and o-rings.
My neighborhood hardware has then is all different shapes for $1.25 ea. They sure come in handy. They also have forceps for 1.75 ea.
Same idea, but I like to use very small screw drivers to assist in changing traction tires.
They are already in my hobby tool box.
I bought something very similar at Harbor Freight retail store. Don't think I paid more than $3. Just used it on my Lionel Berk the other night. Really makes the job much easier.
