Don’t use the tool.
Just grab a rag, and let it snag onto one edge of the clip, and pull it back.

When you go to put the clips back on, just push them onto the handle BEFORE you put the handle back onto the splined window/door spindle.
They are made to just push on.
No need to fight with trying to install them after the handle is on the crank portion.
