A nearby auto parts store lent me a generic kit free, tho I did not buy the pads there. I did look to buy other things there. So while it is possible to get by with out the tool, why bother?
If the hand brake cables have fractures in the rubber, you might consider replacing those too. Heck, replace them anyway while you are at it if you are in a cold climate.

is one good place for parts.
Many thanks for all your help
