In a pinch, I've used one of my made-in-China 1/4" ratchet wrench and a screwdriver bit. It's about as slim as they come. My set (from 1983 is real Chinese--"Laughing Swan" brand or some such. Looks something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Tools-DT1212-Ratcheting-5-Piece/dp/B002OHDXYM/ But I like the idea of just supporting the thing from the bottom. Can't get better than that from a mechanical standpoint. --Chuck
