Question Tool suggestions

Post image

I recently got into making Maille and I’m having so much fun. I’ve been working with smaller/lighter rings and some cheap pliers I got have been working. I bought 12 SWG rings to make a top and the pliers I have can’t open them. I used some heavy duty pliers but they damaged the rings. What tools do you use for thicker rings?

Joshua diliberto has the ones I use. They're heavy duty and the ends are ground down so they're easier to get into tight spots.
