I use hemostats purchased at surplus store. Nice because they clamp and lock. http://www.amazon.com/SE-Hemostats-Curved-Straight/dp/B000W1Y9YU

I found myself putting the nuts on the end of the longest bolt of that size and using that as an “internal wrench” to get them seated into the nut captures on printed parts.
Hemostats work great on the lasercut bits.
