I have been been using the factory tool. The shape and position of the cube or leg is fairly critical. You need to be able to hold the bucket down and still get the shim out and there is only a small rim on the bucket to accomplish this. Your mild steel tool should be fine as the bucket material is much harder so you shouldn't raise a burr. The factory tool appears to be black oxide coated mild steel.
