I believe knipex pliers are the ones to go with, I think they're the heavy duty fixed tip ones on McMaster. I might be wrong though, GRT just has the quick change tip ones from McMaster and the tips have gotten misaligned which makes them next to useless. I'm trying to get the team to buy a few of the knipex ones.
