Quick release strap replacement - What do you use?

[movadont]

I have been using toothpicks or paper clips to change straps. This seems more and more like a pretty ghetto solution for even a rep considering the out of pocket cost for these! What are you guys using? Where can I find a rep, unbranded or even gen strap tool?

Thanks!

Well, I usually use a ball point pen. Springbar tool works as well.

this is a long shot, but...
Are there any spring bar tools that have a pointed end at both ends and screw apart? That could be a really cool solution.

There are replacement tips that are reversible fork and pointed ends. Just remove the tip from the springbar tool and use the tip and the springbar tool with the remaining pointed end.

I have multiple panerai strap tools and spring bar tools but I use these things http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microbrush-...605292113?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item415560f651 with the tip removed

Thanks for all of the great responses. I really think those little brushes are the perfect answer. Cut 'em down a little and stick 2 in my wallet. I love it!
