I am doing the same thing. I bought a bunch of those for this purpose. In video, the guy used a snap cap to push down floor latch, that's better than screw driver with steel head, but bamboo tool will be better....and tasks like pushing up the lock frame latch etc. Especially for nice C&Rs. What not easy to do is to get firing pin out with customized bamboo tool, it's not strong enough. Currently, I am using cleaning rod. But planned to make a copper head screw driver for this purpose.
