Default Inner tie rod tool wont fit?

So i went to change out the Inner tie rods and went to the local parts store to pick up the inner tie rod tool and it wouldnt fit the new tie rods. Im not sure if anyone has had this happen but it seems the new inner tie rods are smaller in diameter and the tool wont grip the tie rod?? If your using the old style squared end ones you should be fine, but the newer ones just have small flats on them and are hard to grip. I ended up just using a wrench...it was a real pain but got it done. I was just wondering if anyone has come across this problem and if there is a better way.
