Default T3 rebuild tools??

My t3 rebuild kit just arrived and those snap rings are ------- tiny. Before I start my search for the smallest snap ring pliers on earth I figured I'd ask what others have used for tools. Any certain size of SR pliers or any certain angle? Dental type picks? Any other specialty tools or homemade tools that would make this rebuild go smooth? Thanks

I used a craftsman snap ring plyers it has replaceable tips and just found a tip that fit the snap rings...by the way they are a pain in the *** to get them in there oh and make sure the bearings fit over the shaft before you install them and have to take them back out because some *** sent you the wrong bearings..grrrh

Just file down the tips of a tweezer. Worked excellent for me.
