changing hooks?

[matt17]

How do you guys do it with out nails? The dirty habit I have of biting my nails has provided some difficulties when changing the hooks of the sugarpen I bought this arvo. haha had to use a safety pin and pliers

Am I just a complete idiot or are there methods around this

thanks guys
Matt

Split Ring Pincettes are what you need.

I got mine about a month ago, they must have come down since then. They are still readily available elsewhere.

Smiths are the only ones and there not that expensive here. Get a good pair of side cutters also, dont buy DohDohDohDoh ones you will regret it. Also handy for cutting trebles off as well as rusty split rings.

Hey mate,

Which Side Cutters would you recommend?

Any good brands?
