Hook Changing Tool

Anyone have any good suggestions on making a homemade hook changing tool? I remember seeing somewhere a while back, what looked like a 2" wooden dowel with slits cut into it for the different sizes of treble hooks. After cutting the hook, the guy slid the hook into the tool and anchored it, with no effort at all, opened the hook one way, placed it on the plug and closed it the other way. The process looked effortless. I've been using manley pliers, but due to rotator cuff surgery, its become a little painful. If anyone has made one of these, or can recommend another way I'de love to hear it. Thanks in advance.
