[IRCA] An easier way to switch out 9-volt batteries??

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I've gone and done it again.  For the second time in recent months, while changing the 9-volt battery that powers my Quantum QX Pro loop antenna, I've managed to break the clasp (the one that snaps onto the top of a 9-volt battery) apart from the negative wire that goes into the back of the base.  And this time, I managed to break off the positive wire, as well.  What I've been doing when switching out 9-volts is to take my index finger and thumb and pull the clasp off the battery.  Should I be using a flathead screwdriver, or something else, to pry it off?  Somehow, I'm using too much force, but I can't think of any other way.
