Don,

To make things easy when I first started using this method, I took a two Popsicle sticks, black electrical tape and the two gauges. I taped a gauge in-between each end of the Popsicle sticks which gave me a handle and some additional length to work with.

This little tool saved me a bunch of time as all I had to do was simply flip the tool. Also the Popsicle stick with the shortened gauge on the ends provided a firmness that you don't normally get from the regular length of gauge. Without the firmness of the Popsicle stick the thin gauge has a tendency to fold or bend when it should slide in.

After some experimentation I managed to create a better tool using some scrap steel and small set screws.
