any way to do locline assembly without the locline pliers?

i'm trying to avoid buying the 20.00 locline pliers for approximately 5 minutes of use... does anyone have any alternative ways?

Borrow one? Too bad you live so far away... I have a pair you could use. I've heard some people say they never need the pliers but I sure did!

Ive never used the pliers. I find they come apart quite easily.
