If you can not find some like what was pictured earlier in the thread try looking at some flat jaw welding pliers.

a380, sorry its been a few years since I've been to any shows over there. He used to do the OrangeCon from IPMS-Orange County.
The beading shop sounds like a good possible source, maybe even a Michael's or JoAnn's.

Dear A380:
You may also find the pliers at a Harbor Freight Tools Store. I looked where in the world you are first before suggesting the store. Enjoy the hobby and ask questions, Miles

Harbor freight will most likely only have duckbill pliers with serrations in them.
both JoAnn's and Michael's will have those smooth duckbilled pliers needed for paperwork and beading. Mac

Folding
Folding card stock is the bane of this hobby. Cutting is easy. Folding, on the other hand is a pain!
Success depends on the thickness of the card stock, the shape of the resulting fold (sharp vs rounded) and the tool you are employing for scoring! I don't think one can avoid tearing the paper fibres no matter what you do, or how careful you are. Using a brake probably gives you the most control. If I have to fold small parts, I'll sometimes coat the exposed edges with a small amount of PVA just to seal the paper and to avoid the delamination that often takes place with these small pieces! Good folding to one and all!
