That's because the proper spelling is "dikes", not "dykes". You get a lot
of stuff about Holland, but you also get the cutters.
Take a piece of 1/8" welding rod. Grind the tip to a screwdriver. Shrink
sleeve (teflon if you can find it) over it. If the shrink sleeve gets all
gnarly, cut it off and shrink another piece on. If the steel gets all
gnarly, you have one hell of a trimpot on your hands.
You want a handle? Take a quarter inch round hunk of lucite or plexi. Heat
the welding rod red hot. Plunge it into the plastic. There you have it.

Thank you. It's a lot easier if one knows the proper term. You can guess
what would happen if one searches for "dykes" instead of diagonal cutters.

As I said, I have been using a screwdriver with heat shrink tubing. I
have decided to get the proper tool.
