I use a red rag. If you look at the back of the handle, you can see the open end of the clip. Take a rag, and loop it around the handle beteen the panel where the open side of the clip is facing the bottom of the loop you made in the rag. Now just pull the rag working the ends back and forth a little and the clip pops out.

Wow, Chop, I'll have to try that.  I always used a small screwdriver also...
