What do you use to adjust the 1/4 inch nuts on the IF cans? Philco calls for a fiber nut driver.

All I have are the standard metal ones. I tried using that type, but it acts like an antenna and increases the signal making it hard to adjust and isn't as accurate.

Are there commercial tools I can buy for this purpose?
