These are the main types of items I use.

A decent small scissors to cut the PE.

A good set of tweezers.

And mini pliers.
It's important that a flat nose and needle nose have no teeth.

I also have flush cutters, a hold and fold, and X-acto knife, but I don't use them as often as the other items.

These are examples of the items, there are many types and sources.
