Any recomendations for a good set of pliers to buy.

I'm not in the snap-on price range but a quality tool is a must - cheap tools are a waste of time and money.
Would also apreciate recomendations for decent replacement CV clips (are the cv universal ones any good)

(nothing from Amazone or china please)

bought cheap recently - when I know better, got what I deserved.
Just bought 'cheap' self centering pilot hole drills (for wood) - thinking how wrong can you go on these! - lots is the answer
Utter carp, they don't spin straight, the suitable shroud size produces huge pilot holes - and to top it off the spring loaded shroud doesn't srping back.

these are actually very good, not just for the money, I don't recommend Amazon as a marketplace but....
pliers on amazon

Seconded I have those that Aidan linked, great for the price.

Cheers. Nothing like the one I thought I needed - why am I thinking they should look more like blunt carpenters pincers.

Are you thinking of this sort of thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373386722390

Oh did you mean oetiker clip clamp for the boot clips? Not pliers for the snap rings on the end of the shaft? I got new clips in with new boots as a kit but I guess that's no good if your boots are OK. 
 

you mean these

Rob, Stesaw, Aidan - yes, those are what I thought I'd need - cheers, thanks for taking the time.

I have a feeling, yonks ago, my uncle had a pair which would take them off and I remember him sounding doubtful when he said 'it's supposedly allows you to use them again' - he said it was a lot of faff - and that he'd never fully trust the clip.

Anyon go the Spec for Correct clamps to hand.

I know they usually come with a replacement boot, but i'd like to carry some spares - as one of mine has gone walkies (smaller one)

Struggling to find the spec for the two needed - I'd prefer the right size rather than universal ones which need cutting down.
