The tyre tool is about 10x as wide as a screwdriver. Spreads the load and won't break.
You need to get the edges of the tyre down into the central well of the wheel. That gives you enough slack to get the tyre off.
Next to impossible to get it off otherwise.

I didn’t think about Harbor Freight. I had a couple of nylon trim removal tools that helped be get the tire off, but there was a lot of grunting. The two wood clamps helped me get the tire manipulated into the center of the rim, which opened up a gap large enough to get the sidewall over the lip of the rim.
I think I’ll take a drive to Harbor Freight to see what they have. Thanks for the tip.
