I've seen let-off wrenches that grab the dowl, a variation on needle-nose pliers, with semi-circle tips to surround the letoff dowl.

Anyone know where I can get these?

Or, you might be interested in my universal jack regulating tool that does both standard loop-style letoff buttons and also the dowel type.
Available from Schaff
