Hi guys,
Some time ago I came across a handy tool that looked sort of like a pair of wide tweezers, and it's purpose is to grip the white DPRplug from the narrow side, so you can pull it out of the chip or the cover easier.
I saw this on a UK based slotcar internet shop, but I can't find it anymore, Google didn't give any results either.
It was baremetallic and it had Scalextric die stamped on the side. I think it cost a few quid. (Maybe this can be had cheaper when bought as a general electronics piece of tooling, at a shop like Maplins or Conrad, but the thing is I don't know the exact word for what it's called, so a search there didn't turn up anything either...)
So does anybody of the usuals suspects
A ) know what I'm talking about, and
B ) Have a linkylink where I can buy it?
Thanks guys!

PS. I know how to use serrated needlenose pliers on them (that's how I do it) but for my son I'd like him to use a little more sophisticated type of machinery, just to avoid the possible slip of the pliers, and ripping the wires off...
