Photo Etch Kits / tools

I have recently tried out Photo Etch kits and am happy with the results. Basically, I made the 1/350th Fed. Cargo containers. I am (slowly) working on a 1/350th Titanic model for my wife and am wanting to add PE rails and other parts to it. When making the Cargo pods, I used tweezers to bend the brass but I am wondering if I should invest in something else if I am going to be using it more often. Advice anyone???

(I hope this is the right place to post this topic:P)
