My NorVice doesn't squash them as easy so I bought a pair of Dr. Slick pliers and they have flattened hundreds (probably thousands) and still work great. I use a dremmel for all my big spoons and apexes. Rick.
I might have to head to Fish Tales and get a pair of these. Cheap tools tend to cause more problems than they solve.

Thanks all!
