Fastfit straps when changing the fastfit straps, thers a small metal bar with barbs on both ends. getting it in and out takes a while. is there a tool outhere that makes this faster ?

I used a pair of Irwin Vise Grip GV8 X60 Pliers to remove and insert the metal bar in my binding ladders. The binding ladders were fastfit brand, on a Salomon Relay XLT toe strap.

Put one side of the plier on the metal rod and the other side on the opposite side of the ladder and squeeze.
