I will try to explain what is needed to make your own kit that works.
All you need is a 1 to 2 inch thick and 5 to 6 inches long piece of stick or round shaped piece of wood. Then take about a 10 to 12 inch piece of heavier (10 to 20lb) fishing line and tie one end of the line to one end of the stick and then tie the other end of the line to the other end of the stick. So you have now made a loop with the fishing line. Take the loop and place it centered to the inside center bend of the buried hook. Using the stick(with the loop) and place it in one free hand. Take the second hand and push the eye of the hook to where it touches the skin just above the buried hook. So, now you have a hook buried and the eye of the hook touching the skin(with a little pressure) and a loop of line, looped inside at the bend of the hook(just above the buried barb). Now hold the loop and stick fairly tight and the Jerk the hook out. It is amazing how simple and how painless it all works. The kit provides a plastic handle (where I suggested a peace of wood) and the kit provides the fishing line already tied to the ends of the plastic handle. I would try it out on the next person that get a hook buried, after all it's not you (hopefully) with the buried hook.
If the hooked person is like ZEP, tell them to close their eyes. No Xanax is needed lol WUS! lol
