Default Flywheel Locker???

I'm doing a cam install soon and I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row, so to speak. Somewhere I saw a small metal tool with teeth matching the flywheel so you can get the balancer bolt out. I can not for the life of me find one, I checked at Sears, Autozone, Car Quest, Harbor Freight and Snap-On, and called a Chevy dealer today. Anyone know where I can find one?

Yes I know about the screwdriver method. I have also seen the big thing that code4 is selling, but I think there has to be a cheaper way to get it done.

Thanks,
Craig

Ideally that's what I'd do, but an impact gun won't do much with no compressor

Why do you need a locker? Put the car in gear. Driveline/flywheel/crank won't turn.

In a manual it won't turn, but in an auto it will. I found the tool, thanks to DrkPhx, Kent-Moore makes one.
