Anybody know where to get a tool for compression glands ?

Does anybody know where to get a tool to fit/remove the type of cable gland in the link ?    I normally use pliers, but I'm getting fed up of damaging them.

I often wrap the jaws of the pliers with masking tape before clamping the plastic , that should prevent damage .
Never heard of a specific tool for the job but probably does exist .

Ignition pliers have worked well for me.  Small size and were once sold at Sears stores.  Looks like mail order now unless you can find them at a hardware store that stocks Craftsman brand tools.

Edit:  I was wracking my brain for the trademark/generic name for that type of pliers.  Aha!  "Channel-lock" .  Ignition pliers are a mini version.
