For obvious reasons all adjustments should be done with the power applied and the set working.
There are fewer places to find the tuning wands or sticks. Some call them diddle or tweeking sticks.
This link at least gives you a fairly good picture of what is needed.
Be aware that some are made from a poor type of plastic.
Never turn them very hard, the ferrite tuning core in the coils is very brittle.
If you had worked on vintage radios you probably would have come across this situation before. You can carve sticks with a screwdriver blade ends by using wood chopsticks. Hard to make ones with hex ends.
