Let me be the first (probably of many) that will tell you that it was very foolish to continue driving with a blown AOS. Consider yourself lucky that you still have six un-bent connecting rods.
Remember - the most expensive tow is still usually less than the cheapest replacement engine.
Buy the pliers. You'll need them again after driving home with a cracked coolant tank one day.
