I have a road trip coming in the near future and HF is stop number one. I will look at those pliers. I still have a pair that I got in the 70s that you screw different tips into, really crappy pliers but they sometimes work on those really small rings where you can't get into them. I like the idea of changing the head instead of having several pliers in the tool box.
My shop is so small and cluttered even when I vacuum the floor small parts may never make it there. I do use the flash light and magnet trick, amazing how many other lost items I find that way.
Food for thought, why is it a friend or neighbor will only show up to BS when your on your hands and knees looking for that little part that shot off into that void??
