So I just restarted in the hobby (did some 1/72 tanks in my early teens )

My stash is getting big already , (leclerc, amx30b2, type 10 / 90/ 89/ 87 / 74, 9040b, rok patton, k1a1 ) and I got the eduard/voyager PE sets for most of those, now looking at all the tiny parts on the eduard PE and the folding that you need to do I think I need one of those PE tools

now which one of these should I get?
Flip-R5 (or R10?)
Trumpeter Master Tools Bender (S or M)
RP Toolz medium or the biggest?
any other suggestions?

again it has to be obtainable here in the EU as I dont want to pay extra taxes/import stuff

To be honest, you will probably use a pair of flat head tweezers more than a folding tool.
