    I like the Channellock 927 spring clip pliers, it might seem a bit pricey, but is reversible and includes multiple tips for various jobs.

    I had no idea Channellock was a brand name.

    Spending a little cash on these tools is a good idea. I have a cheap generic pair that skew when I use them. They just can't handle the tension.

    Some tools you can get by with using generics. Others...not so much. I once purchased a cheap set of wire strippers. A few days later, I went back for the better ones.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    for the C-Clips I use a pair of Kleen conicle tipped needle nose. I took a triangle file and notched the tips about 1/8 of an inch from the bottom so the c-clip has a grove to rest in while under tension. Cool thing about them is if I need to roll a lead from a component to create a small loop, they are my go-to pair for both jobs.
