Is there a tool which can be inserted between paving slabs and used to lift

If so where can I buy one?


I've not seen a special tool for this job but I've managed to do it
before with a couple of loops of galvanised fencing wire worked into
the inter-slab gaps and hooked round diagonally opposite corners. I
then passed a stout length of timber through the loops to lift the
slab.
