    Needle nose pliers. I think the o ring was a 9/16 maybe. Maybe a half. Harbor freight or lowes should have them.

    you can also open the loop using the open end of a stainless tube , bit like a bottle opener if that makes sense

    Small ring openers like the body piercers use will work.

    This is a reputable dealer for these items, the mini should work.

    The back of a tube should work as well and I have seen some tattooers use the back of a disposable if your needlebars are not super stiff.
