I can no longer find any "Graflex Pin Tool" in the inventory.
Is it just me, or has the item been discontinued?

Is there some other type of tools that would be a good replacement?
I am afraid of damaging the brass pins, so I really want to use something proper. I learned the hard way that they damage easily.

Thanks in advance.

needle nose pliers work for me

That's the thing. I don't want to use needle-nose pliers for fear of damaging the pins.

Tape the end.

I measured the pair I have and I get .125" from 'flat' to 'flat'. I would look for a 1/8" 6 point hex socket and see if that works.

I just got some small pins, and used a pair of tweezers. Worked just fine.

i used to have one of those really small nut and driver ratchet sets, there is a socket that wil fit it, but finding those small sets nowadays is hard, i even lost the set i had, so i use needlenose pliers now
