Has anyone found a pair of ball link pliers that fit these smaller balls?
It seems most are too big and can damage the ball links.
Also if anyone knows the exact diameter of the B400 balls that might be helpful as well.
Thanks.

Nope no ball link pliers for the Blade 400. The balls are 2.0mm.

I am using something very close to this :

The balls are not 2.0mm, they are 3.8mm. Mrich may have been thinking of the thread diameter, which is 2.0mm.

I found a pair of HeliMax pliers online and they look smaller but it's hard to tell.
Anyone know what size balls the Helimax copters have?

I took a small file and reduced the size of the pushy thing and it works fine

No
Mine are alright for taking of the links but bloody useless for putting them back on so have to use fingers and thumbs
would like a better pair may even consider upgrading all links and balls to t rex if its possible and after i have run out of spares :)

I have a pair that I bought from Century a couple of years ago when I was attempting to learn to fly a Hummingbird CP (BTW....NEVER BY A HUMMINGBIRD!!!). They seem to work fine so far for me. A tad big, but they work. Unfortunately no P/N stamped on it, but I THINK this is the one....it was a couple of years ago......http://www.centuryheli.com/products/productdetail.htm?currentid=454&prtnm=CN2034A
The ones I have are a little big, but I can usually work it in there and pop the link off the ball just fine. Hope this helps! They have a bunch in the clearance section as well....several types. Unfortunately they don't give ball size...
