I know nanofrog on here is a huge fan of Schmitz for needle nose pliers, especially for the value. Schmitz makes the pliers for CK. I have a pair of Tronex needle nose pliers that I like A LOT! You can see images of them in this thread. They aren't cheap at all but are exceptionally well built. They are an absolute pleasure to use in assembling circuits.

Definitely check out Schmitz (online store).

Worst case, serrated long snipe nose are 19.44EUR + VAT & shipping (comes out to 32.34EUR). Gets cheaper if you purchase more than one pair at a time.  ;)

Please note, there appears to be an error in their shipping calculator for the UK, a 1x pair shows 12.90EUR for shipping, while 2x drops to 6.90EUR. If you add a second pair, then remove it from the cart, the shipping price remains at 6.90EUR for one pair.
