Anyone know where I can get a teeny, tiny snap ring pliers for the Q500 motor snap ring?

TIA
 
Hardware, or maybe automotive stores. You may be able to modify a small pair of needle nose pliers by bending the tips with a larger pair of vise grips, or a bench vise. Might go easier if you heat the tips for a bit with a gas bottle torch like for plumbing solder.
 
Thanks for the reply DrNewcenstein. I've looked at the suggested places and they are all way too big for those micro snap rings. On to looking at some surgical tools.
 
Now there's an idea. The surgical stuff is crazy expensive. Dental may be too but, it's worth a look.
 
In MN, I got them at a Joanne fabrics. They were with the beads for Jewelry. In fact, lots of small tools, washers, c-clips, e-clips and a very nice soldering station

You might look into Jeweler or watch maker/repair tool suppliers.
Followed ToddL's advice and found a nice pair of really small bent nose pliers. Had to grind the tips down a tad, they work perfect. Thanks for the idea though.
