Probably not worthwhile just for a single job, but these Kniipex twingrip pliers have a "bore" in the nose that's particularly effective in gripping a cylinder https://www.amazon.co.uk/KNIPEX-82-01-200-atramentized/dp/B09FPZPY96/ref=asc_df_B09FPZPY96/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=641638718575&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6235607503535841976&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045915&hvtargid=pla-1640846664898&psc=1&mcid=e02a7d1495603634ba0636b3393dbad5&th=1&psc=1
Obviously a limited use here but very effective. Usually when you turn to get the pliers out something has failed, stuck or broken, these really do grip like hell to avoid slipping and seem a good addition to a toolkit.

Neat looking pliers.

Glad to see my memory was right about the air screws, exactly as I remembered them, not bad for 40 odd years ago.
