Where can I get the best value on some split ring pliers?

As an NAFC member I signed up to test products and write up a short review
of the items received. After testing I get to keep the product. So far
they have sent me battery operated blinking rubber lizards which I have yet
to fish with, so I haven't done an evaluation on them yet, and some X-Ring
split rings and split ring pliers. I have palyed witht he pliers and ring a
little bit so far. I find the shape of the plier not to be ideal for
splitting the ring as the pointed jaw goes beyond the lower jaw forcing you
to put the split ring in at an angle. I see to possible solutions. The
lower jaw could have friction goves cut into it to prevent slipping, or the
lower jaw could be slightly elongated so allow for straight grip of the
split ring.

Default Split Rings sizing

I was watching a show yesterday that dealt with Texas and they had a special
section about the Bomber Lure Company.
They were showing the product being hand painted and split rings being put
on the lures.
What I thought was neat was, they had a square thing with a tiny thin square
thing that they would slide the split ring opening onto (That would open the
ring) Then they just hooked the lure eye onto the opening and spun the ring
in a circle.
I know...the above is confusing....hehehe.
Ok....picture this;
A square block of wood with a small short flattened metal piece sticking
straight up. (Flattened nail perhaps?)
Holding the pliers (with the split ring in them), open the edge of the ring
by pushing it down on the metal piece.
Slide the lure eye into the opening.
Then just spin the ring in a circle with the pliers.
If that's confusing then I will draw a picture.
These folks were putting split rings on lures in seconds!
