Anyone know where to get one?

Well, made the change to my NATO today on my SD for the approaching summer. In doing so, something weird happened. Using the burgeon tool to push the spring bar (I have lug holes) the tip snapped off. So weird because I didn't push at an angle or anything. Oh well, I used a toothpick instead and it worked like a charm. Question is, I can remove the tip out to get to the extra link screw in the tool itself, so is there a way to replace the tip? Anyone got an extra laying around they would like to get rid of? Just the tip, no need for the whole tool.

Thanks Oscar, I wonder if the replacement tips fit the Rolex tool? Hmmmm, looks like they screw in where as the SD tool just slides into place. I still can't believe the thing just snapped with no side preassure...oh well, I guess it was bound to happen as the tool is over 10 years old.
