I don't know model numbers or brands, but I've
seen two kinds - the
really cheap ones are really just large specialty tweezers - a bend of
flat metal with hooks. The more expensive kind is multiple metal and
plastic parts with pivot points and leverage and a more-or-less
up-and-down approach to inserting and securing the corners of the PLCC
part. Those are nice. I think I've seen them around $10-$15.
This describes the one I have. I got it for 44-pinners, but have used
it on up to 84-pinners without difficulty.
