Nice to have the facility to custom make one, and it looks good, but a long shank flat blade screwdriver will do in a pinch by just removing the handle. Chuck it up in your drill and remember to turn it counter-clockwise. You will know when the pump picks up prime, the drill will slow down and the rocker studs will ooze oil into the rocker arm.
