1. I use Round nose pliers and I'm a Cheap Bastard if that helps.

2. 5/32 here also for a drill bit

3 I epoxy the plug 1st, put a peice of playing card in the slot so the epoxy doesn't get in there (remember to pull it out before it set) then the lipsget epoxied in place just before I through wire.

If its a plug with no lip then I through wire 1st then epoxy it so it helps to keep the wire on place

You don't want to bother with all that.
Just cut a lip slot, drill an eye hole, then insert your hook in the slot and out the eye and you'll be good to go.

Mike at M&D's has good pliers and often also has drill bits.
