    After a few days of searching I found it! In a toolbox of "stuff I'll never need again". I prefer this to the C-frame type, and any other versions Ive tried. Craftsman from 25yr or so ago (how did I get old so fast?).

    I got one off ebay for around $20.00, also found the longer type at an antique mall.
