Tightening sink waste

Does anyone know of a tool that exists to tighten a sink waste. I need to be able to slot the tool into the pre drilled holes within the chrome sink drain that attaches to the sink

Try a screwdriver in each hole and use a chisel or something across the two whilst i presume you want to tighten up the backnut underneath . Hope this works dont know off a tool on the market though.

A pair of long nose pliers, one jaw in each hole? (a cheap pair from one of the pound shops because it certainly doesn't do much for the joint. If they are really cheap and nasty, you can file the corners off the jaws so they don't mark the chrome)

A 12" chunk of 4X2 timber with a couple of long No. 16 screws wound into it, then cut the heads off the screws so they fit in the holes?

A couple of holes in a bit of flat iron bar with 6 or 8 mm bolts projecting through them?
