Barlow's tackle has a good one. I use this one for all rings:
Premium Split Ring Pliers
This one caught my eye though for the very small ones as the premium can be a bit awkward but doable:
Split Ring Pliers - Narrow Opening
Any suggestions how to install these small split rings? My pliers are too large. I'm using the KVD small pliers.

I have a couple of pairs of the old cheap Worth split ring pliers and I like them but I got a pair of the Texas Tackle split ring pliers and I really like them
Xuron is what I use and most the pros. Works great on size 0. I have a pair with the nose filed down for smaller than 0. This is a good price. Split Ring Pliers Xuron 496 Jump Rings Opening Plier Jewelry Wire Bead Working | eBay

I use the edge of the blade and feed the end into the hole. That allows a large enough gap to feed onto the crane swivel and use a pair of hemos to complete it. That is if I even use split rings. The last couple years I use jewelry rings and just crimp them tight, less hassle.
I ground the tip down to fit the #0 split rings.
may have to try that
