I ordered the tool from Amazon. Can't wait to try it.
One caution that I read about on some of the reviews, all depending on how you do and how hard you push and how to counterhold the valve, it is possible to bend the valve stem since modern cars have very skinny valve stems, 6 or 7 mm nowadays.
So if you would try to do it in the car and using a rope, you need to be careful that the rope really covers the valve plate fully and not only on one edge. Not to easy to spot since you work blindly in there.
Not sure if the compressed air method would work either but maybe safer.
