What retaining ring pliers do you use? I have a cheap no name set that can be a bit frustrating and a knipex on which I bend the tip first time I used it...
One that work for Guide levers would be nice too.
I have Snap-On, they're great, you shouldn't buy them though. You should buy Knipex, they're better and cheaper, learn from my mistakes and send me 10% of the savings as a thank you.

Do they do a lot of road wheels? 3x gets weird for lower spoke counts, because the distance between spoke holes increases, and the spokes have to go so far over that they don't always sit well against the flange. I'd do 2x for anything 28 hole or less, but 3x for MTB wheels with proper spoke counts (32).

They build for every style , 32h 2x is what they told me they build daily and have for years.
