OK, here is a shot of my special tools for reel repairs, the tweezers on the right are the artery thingys, and they are normaly closed, so, you squeeze them open to grab small springs and washers and stuff, and they will not fling them across the room, the next pair have a sliding lock thing, so you can grab stuff, lock them off and then use both hands to fiddle with things, the rest are just dental picks that I use to move small springs and stuff around to hook over little pins and stuff, add to these, a set of jewelers screwdrives, a small shifter and long nose pliers, a small container of grease and you can tackle almost any reel on the market.
