I'm building up a set with straight pull spokes but the spokes are round rather than bladed so I can't use my bladed spoke holder. I need some sort of grip pliers. I was recommended the Roval twist resist tool but it's well pricey at $165. Plus will probably not ship from the US at the moment or take ages. The idea I had was to get a small bench vice and then laboriously use that. I've tried regular pliers but the grip isn't strong enough and of course they scratch. What's the best option here?
