The little ones are mainly for the electronic trade. I too, would like to find a round nose pliar, with good leverage, and a small round tip. John M.

They have short strong tips, made in Germany, very nice for making wire loops/knot tying.

I found their phone number in the library and called them. They sent me a catalog and I ordered what I wanted. I lost it in my last move. It may be listed somewhere online under Optical Tools and Supplies. Expensive but worth every penny.

They are so much better that I feel awkward using anything else. I talked once with an optical (glasses) dispenser who said that he would be willing to hitch me up with some. Maybe you can give that avenue a try.
