What Tools Do You Have for Metal Earth

Just wondering what tools everyone uses to bend, cut, form these kits.

I've done the Huey using "beading" tools. These include small set of metal snips, needle nose pliers and a needle nose round plier.

Have three kits needing built for now, Apollo Lunar Module, SR71 Blackbird, and AH64 Apache.

I've built three metal kits so far (Poe Dameron's X-Wing from Star Wars Episode VII, a Tiger tank, and the Apollo Lunar Module) and I want to build more! So, I bought these recently https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cht1...l-mini-plier-/

The set consists of a pair of cutters, long nose pliers, flat nose pliers, round nose pliers and bent nose pliers. I also bought a box of disposable gloves to wear, so as not to get any finger prints on the parts.
