Put some sort of covering on the contact surfaces of the needle nose pliers - leather scraps, or maybe thickish plastic or rubber. The friction ridges on standard needle noses will help with the grip, but at the cost of amping up the paint damage ,and maybe marring the metal itself.
You can also buy needle nose pliers with flat faces, but they're less common, more expensive and less generally useful.

I'll try the needle nose pliers first and then file as necessary. I like my Rivs with Beausage, so some nail polish and stickers will complete the look. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
