Here is a pliers modification for pulling back prongs from
@tinsley_james - “My tip of the day is to modify a pair of chain nose pliers for safe easy and accurate stone removal. Simply use a diamond file, burr or cutting disk to grind the one side into a hook and the other side flat with a slight half round. Use the hook to grab the top of the claw and bend backwards. The bits I’ve used here are a diamond coated cutting disk and the pink one is a diamond grinding disk.” Thank you so much for sharing this tool modification with us! 🙌
