Default Fuel line removal tool for a '99

Hello, I'm going to do an injector swap and know that a special fuel line tool is needed to remove the fuel rail properly. The FSM refers to it as a "Snap-On FIH 9055-1" but I have been unable to cross-reference this online with a definitive answer.

Can anyone provide me with a part number or other link of what this tool looks like so I can look for it at my local auto parts store? I asked at the counter and was met with a blank stare as to what I was looking for, so I think I'm on my own unless I'm willing to drive another 20 mi. for the next place.

Thanks!

Follow-up: I used a "standard" fuel line removal tool -- even though it said it was for Ford and GM, no mention of Chrysler/Jeep -- and it worked without any problems.

The injector swap went very smoothly, and I'd recommend anyone thinking of undertaking it use this guide by dukie564... it was a giant help:

No problem. I forgot to mention that it was a 3/8" / 5/16" line removal tool. It cost me about $8.
