I rarely clip prongs anymore, depending on the base I am tweaking and it's purpose, but when I do I use a straight blade toe nail trimmer, eyeball it the best you can and clip them, when you clip enough of them you will get pretty good at making them even.
I also have a piece of 4"x4" ceramic shower tile (bought at Home Depot for $0.50), I then put the base on the tile, hold it up to a light, you can then see which prongs may be longer or shorter than the others, stop clipping and use pliers to gently pull them out to equal lengths.
This is the method I use when the need to clip prongs arises.
