These look like the Spanish black ones, some of them are too long and need to be shortened.

I bought my first lot from a tyre/air tools wholesaler to the tyre fitting trade, a couple of years back but when they went bust I took a tuperware beaker, yes my mum used to do parties in the 60's, and asked the local tyre fitters shop if I could buy a beaker full.
