Now listen carefully.......... Sturdy snipe nose pliers, leatherman tools, grandads fishing hook remover and the sewing machine combination tool that granny had ages ago have never been mentioned by me or anyone else in our Instrument shops. You cannot use bloody snipe nosed pliers carefully because a) they're round nosed and b) the thing the round noses are meant to rotate are glued/jammed in. Just make the correct shaped tool!

Only my opinion of course. Others may have different ideas
